Ok so while installing some mods I acidently pulls my maiden playfiled past the rails and snapped off this coil lug I have ordered a new coil , there is not a ton of slack in the wire should I cut these or desolder ? I’m not a great solderer .

Yea I was thinking of doing that .. any idea what size ? Guess I can buy assortment ... they should just do them like that at the factory My NGG is like that .

Sadly the copper wire did detach.. I was able to temporarily re-attach but it didn’t hold . I will def practice my soldering .. I will say I did once create an iron man EL-whiplash mode which required me to solder a voltage regulator and small resitor so there is hope! I do need a way better iron , I will look into that one . Are butane ones good as a spare for hard to reach places, or too much exhaust .

Also can anyone recommend a good crimper if I go this route ?

I will practice soldering and de soldering the old coil when I pull it out . Maybe I will even repair it for fun

Thanks all !

Oh PS one of the wires is two wires .. I assume this Should still crimp ok? I will practice some crimping too haha

Good idea , I was gonna let you have it but trash man just came

Coil is ordered ... now let’s not let this silliness detract from my crimping question above

You recommend the heat shrink spade connectors or regular, seems they require different crimpers. ?

Thanks!!

Ok I have what I need last remaining question is if you guys recommend the nylon or heat shrink connectors ?

Seems the spade connectors have those two varieties ? And require diff crimpers .

lol don’t worry I plan to practice soldering too .. need to get new iron or at least a new tip !! I will be moving soon to a home with a basement I’ll setup a workshop

It’s pretty bad and has a tiny oxidized tip ... I’m sure it will work but not well

I can definitely do some basic soldering no worries Had a bunch of folks recommend the spade connectors so that’s why I was looking into it . I do want to get a wider tip as I think that’s better for wired / terminals . Also some
Better solder . I am quite confident I can pull off either option that said I want to get better and also get a crimper as both will come in handy in the future ! Since this is a brand new game want to do it we clean and nice as possible .

Coil is here don’t think I’ll have good luck with the spade on one of these lugs .. also no holes guess I just wrap the wire around it ?

Oh ok, are they just filled with solder ? Ill get her done tonight

Haha yes I am going to be soldering a bunch of stuff just for the heck of it !

Back in business, I can def use some practice but she is up and running. I used a wider tip that helped a ton!

Side note these strippers are awesome
