Thread both tails of your coil through the head, and rest the mandrel in the recesses on the sides.
Thread the rubber insulator onto the...
This is the first secret to not burning your insulators...Ready wires. These heads were built at the factory using NR-R-NR wire. You can use just Kanthal, but trust me this is much easier, and the coil will last for at least a month (you will have to rewick more often than that, with a dry...
