	I am machining a replica of Darth Maul's saber hilt. Can any one tell me where I might find reasonable facsimiles of the red and silver knurled knobs, and the LEDs?

	I have a set of MR FX sabers that I do not want to canniballize. What I would like to do is have two of the half hilts, like the MR saber, without the blade, so that I can mix and match to assemble the MR with two blades, one blade, or no blades (to hang on the belt). I can get the machining done cheaper than I can buy a second MR FX saber to caniballize. However, it's the bits & peices, such as the knobs and LEDs that I have not found yet. I would like them to be as close to the MR saber as possible in size and material. That means plastic is out. I've been watchin e-bay for a cheap, possible defective MR FX saber. That would be my first choice, since then the parts and threads would all be an exact match. However, even if they are listed a broken, the bidding climbs to $150 for the pair. I'm almost to the point where I'll just send my hilts to Ultrasabers and get them converted, but I'm not ready to fund that option just yet. -----signature----- Co-Leader, The Minnesota Force http://www.minnesotaforce.org Check out my custom figures at http://photobucket.com/albums/v331/redfox75/Custom%20Figures/ Check out my art at http://www.swagonline.net/user/1555/gallery

	Broken MR sabers can still be expensive because people want to gut them for the sound boards. There used to be a place called "Roman's Empire" that carried knurled, anodized knobs in various colors, but I don't think that place exists anymore. I also don't know what size LED bezels those are. They look small, maybe 3mm. Your best bet may be be to ask for advice and resources from real saber smiths. If I were you, I'd register at FX-Sabers and ask. http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum -----signature----- In order to see the Light, you must sometimes risk the Darkness.
