good morning all,
yesterday the plan was to attach the RG400 coax cables that run from my lightspeed ignition brain box to the ignition coils top of the engine. the manual tells you to remove the coax's insulation and to crimp the supplied terminals, one to the core wire and one to the shielding material. so far ok.
apperantly i didn't use the right technique to remove and to twist the shielding material that is supposed to be crimped into the big terminal. i cut the shielding material lengthwise and then twisted it to fit into the terminal. thing ist that this part seemed very weak to me. i was easily able to "destroy" this part with very little force, it was basically falling apart.
could somebody tell me what i did miss here?
thanks much
