Default Re: Broken EHT lead. What can I do to fix this?

Thought of this method this morning.

3. Again clean the cap thoroughly, then stand the cap on a work bench so that the caps large hole is facing up. With a sharp knife carefully cut down the side of the large hole towards the sleeve section. Then cut along the sleeve section, once done extract the metal contact and solder it to the wire coming from the LOPT. Now fit the metal contact and wire back into the cap. The cut opening can now be resealed with a suitable adhesive to rejoin across the newly cut slit. This is probably the best method of all 3 and would be less obvious that anything has been done. Just be very careful not to injure yourself. It should also go without saying but don't try any of this repair with the set powered.
