Thanks for the comments guys. 
I just hope that this thread has helped when others attempt to assemble their gauntlets.
Just so there's no confusion, I want to clarify what my FP ROTJ Gauntlet Kit contained:
RIGHT GAUNTLET
Top Shell (fiberglass)
Bottom Shell (vac'ed styrene)
Whip Cord Housing (resin)
Top Hose Connection (resin)
"bic lighter" greblie (resin)
LEFT GAUNTLET
Top Shell (fiberglass)
Bottom Shell (vac'ed styrene)
Flamethrower Housing (fiberglass top & styrene bottom)
Calc Pad (resin)
Dental Expander (resin)
Gauntlet Missile (resin)
The other bits and pieces I used and pictured in this thread are parts that I either bought from a store or collected from various offerings here at TDH. It took me over 2 years to get the FP kit and ALL of the various pieces I used to make my gauntlets. I would have had to wait even longer if I wanted to use a REAL MQ-1 calc pad or Dental Expander, but I had to draw the line some where.
I don't want to sound like I am bragging or anything, but a set of gauntlets like these (FP Kit, RussRep Aluminum Missile, Machined Aluminum Gauntlet Darts, Brass Pipe Fittings, working lasers, working LED, functional switches, etc.) will run you over $500.
Now ... how can you get one of these kits? PM FP for pricing an availability. Who is FP, you ask? If you don't know the answer to that question, you need to get more pride in your Fett.
PM's will be sent to those who asked.

They are not just lights, they are lasers.
Literally.I used two 3mW, 650nm laser diode modules, that I got from this site:

You are only the second person to ask about these. I guess no one took me seriously when I said lasers, earlier in the thread.
