To remove the stubborn bit of plastic left on the center pin, nip it away with a reduced, mini end-nipper (jpg attached). This tip surfaced on this list over 10 years ago. To install the new elbows on the wire, first attach Vise-Grips at the end of the old elbow and cut the elbow off. I simply screw the new elbow on up to the V-G. I don't see this being any slower than waiting for a torch to heat the wire and melt it in, I'd be a little concerned about melting it in slightly askew (speculating), where screwing it in follows the hole. No need for an extra appliance and fuel. Power driving with a drill is counter productive DAMHIK. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
