 Posted: Sat Dec 10, 2016 1:46 am Post subject: Suggested tool for stripping plug leads |
 |
|
I have a request for the forum to suggest a suitable tool for the following please:
I am re-wiring the spark plug leads in the cap of a Slick magneto.
The wire has a thin silicone-like sheath around a braided shield.
Next, the insulator is not quite like that found in a RG400 coax cable for instance.
The core is stranded wire.
The rquirements are to trim the cable to the following approximate lengths; shield .4" and the insulator .7" with the core a further .2".
I have tried a Radioshack coax stripper but this did not work well.
Any other suggestions very welcome.
Thanks.

How many of these do you need to do? There
MIGHT be 3-blade strippers like those used
for coax
[img]cid:.0[/img]
These feature adjustments on depth of cut
but the spacing between the blades is fixed
and unique to the mating connectors. Unless
you have a lot of these wires to strip, you
would probably do well to practice making your
cuts with an Xacto knife on some scraps of
wire.
A websearch on spark plug wire strippers
yielded some results . . .
This tool offered by MSD has a blade guide for
manual stripping and also crimps the bear-hug grips
on terminals. I also found what appears to be an adjustable
2-blade tool. Suggest you explore local auto-parts stores
especially speed-shops that cater to the more adventuresome
DIYers.
