Bagstr 288 Posted February 7, 2019 Yes But / I can talk you through this project. 1. Solder Pencil 2. Solder flux 3. Electrical solder 4. 3M 33 Electrical tape 5. Razor knife 6. Scissors 7. Wire strippers - 22 gauge or so. 8. Shrink tube assortment Your local Hardware Store should have this gear; you will prepared next time. Ask me why I have two sets of Spare radio cable sets. Cut the last coil off the Y side. Strip jacket back about 1.5 inches. Slide on shrink tube. Twist like colors together with flux. Lightly solder. Slide shrink tube over and heat with hair dryer. Repeat trying to match lengths. Test functionality. Liberally tape group overlapping ends about 1.5". 🛵 P.S. Ask me why I tuck my loose cable in my backpack belt when we stop 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
