Title: Clamp Questions
Post by: Shadar Al Niende on June 21, 2010, 11:06:39 AM

Quick couple of questions about this item:

(https://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsaberkit.com%2Fimages%2Fclamps%2Fa.jpg&hash=e37b22fbca8753998022100e5b3b7b723ab3bbd8)

Firstly this will pertain to those using this clamp with MHS pieces from TCSS.

How well does the clamp sit over the hilt pieces, imagine a 8" DF. Is it loose enough that it will need to be secured to the hilt with something, (a setscrew perhaps?) to avoid rotating?

Also, will a standard bubble strip from TCSS fit into these clamps?

Thanks in advance

I heard that to be able to put these to MHS, you have to put 1.5" sinktube under them, and that sinktube over your MHS.

I think that a set screw would do better than without.

Yes, they have to be shimmed and yes they accept the bubble strip.  I would also use a buttonhead screw to secure them.

Thanks for your responses guys! This was a deciding factor on an upcoming build. I appreciate the heads up!
