claw question

[Just_Butch]

Here's a random question. I want to make a super-sithy hilt and I wan  to combine the warglaive emitter with a couple spikes from the raven to create a cross-guard and make it look super evil. My question is this, will the raven spikes work onthe warglaive emitter?

I asked this a couple of days ago... I got some answers. I'll try and find the thread.

That's what I was trying to say to you the other day mate.
I've been trawling YouTube for you but it seems no one has posted a dissection video about the raven and no one has posted a video about removing the claws sorry I'll keep looking for you both.

War Galileo claws use 8-32 screws, the raven uses 6-32 screws. I am sure you could drill it out a little bigger if you really wanted to (the claw hole that is)

I hope nobody minds me jumping in here:
What do the numbers correspond to? I get that they're sizes, but is it [diameter]-[length] (in mm) or something else?

an 8-32 screw has a diameter of 8 (not sure what unit it's in) and would average 32 threads per inch along the shaft.

6-32, diameter of 6, with 32 threads per inch down the shaft.

these are both fairly standard small machine screws, the trick is finding them in the proper lengths you need, usually 1/2" or shorter depending on what you're mounting to the saber.

hope this helps

Yes, thanks to all. I've decided that I'm going to try and make it work. When funds allow, of course
