I wrapped up each cable after i soldered them together, then wrapped both together, i continued it up the main cable. I also used an old wire from a soldering iron! The tip was broke so i cut off its power cord, and used that to extend the wiring.

Beats buying a new tip any day. Wink

It was shagged anyway, i have another much better one Cheesy

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

May 2009 at 22:00 Insulating tape is pretty random at staying stuck! You just need a hot day with some brands and it goes all gooey and unfurls. I make a point of offsetting the joins if I think I may have to leave it like that. Then the +ve and -ve don't touch if the insulation deteriorates..

Not the ones where the "tip" is in fact a flat baded screwdriver? about 8mm wide? Ideal for SMD then. Lips Sealed

In an effort to repair a router, I have used one of those massive antex bits on SMD. Tedious, but possible...
