Aah gotcha!
What size screw is that retention screw??
And do you by any chance know what size the PVC tube is in Metric?
I'm in Holland, but I really want to kit out the Dominix a bit to make it more my own!

Retention and Covertec screws are both 8-32 thread.
Uhh~ doing a bit of searching, I'm guessing you're looking for 50mm pipe. Has an ID between 42.6mm-45.2mm, depending on pressure rating. Either will fit very loosely over the 37-38mm OD of the Dominix, so you might need to wrap some tape around the hilt to give the pipe a snug fit before you swap the screw.

Awesome dude! Thanks a ton! I'll screw around a bit with the pvc tubes, I can get those at my local store, so that's not too much of a problem  Now I know what size I'm looking for roughly though, so that definitely helps. As for the screws, I'll have to get those at TCSS, cause all our screws are in metric obviously :p Thanks again man, now I can start planning my customization properly :3 |

Oh, one more little question.
Where does the retention screw sit on the Dominix LE V4?
I'm asuming somewhere underneath the Silver lines at the top?
And is it possible to get the retention screw to be lined up with the AV switch?

Double-check your hardware store, because all the ones here have a section for metric screws, so I figure the opposite's true.

Found some screws that I think might work And I found PVC tubing that is absolutely perfect! 40mm OD, 3.68 ID (roughly) So that should be a perfectly snug fit. And if it doesn't fit I'll make a little cut on one side so I can fold it open a bit :3 Thanks again for the help Kouri! |

I am making a emitter in the same way but using brass piping as opposed to pvc pipe. Coincidence that I saw this here! I will post pictures of mine once I have finished with it. The dimensions for mine were for my Dark Apprentice V4 but are as follows: 1 1/4th Inches 22 guage brass piping (Found at Lowes) My personal recommendation is to bring the hilt in with you to try it out because it is a VERY snug fit down to the millimeter.

I think your pipe was in the wrong slot in the aisle, as it's 1 1/2" 22 gauge sink tubing that fits over sabers - the MHS system was specifically made to fit inside that tube. For the record, it fits perfectly over the 1.45" MHS-sized V4 saber hilts. The 1.5" V3s need to be sanded down a bit to fit. |

hi everyone, i have a question, do any of you think it would work if i made a shroud out of pvc to go around my intiate v3, but also took a piece of pvc same diameter of actual hilt and connected it to shroud and hilt to make hilt a little bit longer, to fit electronics in it better?
so the shroud would be outside the smaller piece of pvc and the hilt, the smaller pvc acting as an extension of the actual hilt itself.

No, not really. I'd recommend purchasing some MHS extensions from the other shop and adding length to the hilt that way. |
