Is there a easy way to attach the clips that hold the control cables to the control boxes?
They are kinda a pain.  |

There are pliers with a notch just for that kind of thing. I don't know what they are called.

I just use needle nose pliers to squeeze them until they clip. Never had much of a problem.

It's not impossible. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I've used needle nose too. Although I like specialty tools... |

Leave it to the Germans to develop a unique securing clip that requires a unique tool...
Thanks, Luke. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
