Help With Force Pike Build

Post by Tsukiyonos »

Ok, think I am putting this into the correct area. I have been for awhile now trying to get the pieces together to put the force pike from this thread together http://kaminobase.com/forcepike/forum/v ... ?f=28&t=13

Needless to say, while its a great blue print, alot of things I could not find lol, so I read around more and found some replacement idea and have somewhat merged those here a bit. I changed the fishing pole pieces to the pool stick being the most major at least as of now. Though I have been looking for months, I have only recently started buying pieces, as I did not wish to get involved unless I thought I could get all the pieces, so once I found them I was excited and started buying the pieces for the handle? I think...

Anyway, got what appeared to be the shower knob, (given to me from a great person at another forum I visit), I got the backflow valve that looked pretty much like the one in the posting I mentioned above, and I believe I got most of the other little odd and end pieces.

My problem arose once I recieved everything though....

I am now curious as to which piece is too small/large? Is the back flow too small? Is the knob too big? If so, would be wonderful if someone would be able to help me find a replacement for either. I am open to all suggestions at this point, I have not ever done anything like this before and picked it up on a whim as I always loved the Royale guard costumes to begin with.

Hoping to keep this under the 50 dollar price point, so far I have 15 dollars I think dropped into this, 10 for the pool stick and 5 for the backflow valve. If I need to go higher though, I will, just would mean I will have to prolong this over a longer period with the holidays coming up and all. I do prefer online sources, even though I have to pay shipping on them, I just am not really able to get to many locations with my job and all, plus not having a car at the moment makes it difficult as well :P

You need to go one size smaller on the Pommel. It is usually the two pack packaging. Also the pommel is two inches across.

The faucet handles should fit right over the backflow valve. You can then buy a 2.5 - 3" screw that secures those two together. Your faucet handle, as stated above, is too big.
