In the outer rim...darkness awakens!


« on: January 25, 2021, 03:00:10 PM »

So I purchased a mystery box saber, its a Prophecy v3 but the covertec wheel was not installed, the hole is drilled and threaded so realistically the hard part is already done, I've seen in some older posts that the screw is an 8-32 socket head screw which should be pretty easy to get locally, I hope, my question is does the covertec wheel that Ultra Sabers sells on their store come with the screw or is it just the wheel?

The screw is included when you purchase a covertec wheel 👍

Yup, comes with the screw.   You just need an 8/32 drill and tap set.

It'll be cool to see if you do the install eventually. I've never seen a blade with an open spot for a wheel like that.

Dark Lords of the Sith have ruled collectively and individually for Millenia. One afraid to wield a power is ultimately unworthy of it. Ascendancy into the light has an apex, yet descent into the darkness is endless. The Dark Side can give or take anything, based on user strength. I claim the title of Darth Prodigal Dark Lord of the Sith as my own. Through pain, our Code, and right of combat it is mine; and so shall it be defended. Follow Darth Bane's wisdom. (Only Dark Side Points Preferred.)

Did yours come with the two brass tension screws at the top? Mine did not. After emailing US I got a nice response, basically you just add the Hex wrench to your cart for $1 and then at check-out in the order notes you can put "SUBSTITUTE hex wrench for 2x (Prophecy 3v) retention screws" - Of course Shipping will put it over $1 but I thought that was pretty awesome. I like to grip at the top though so I'm hoping there's no hindrance with those equipped. Worth the look though  Cool

I can't edit my last post but I was accidentally misquoted and received another email following up. You would actually buy a Guarded switch for $6 and substitute the switch for the Brass knobs in the order notes.  Tongue Still totally worth it.

You could also get the brass knobs at most hardware stores. They are 8-32 in thread size and can be found in the lighting hardware area as they a also accent pieces for lamps.
