Tracy recommends cutting off part of the coil around
the connector and soldering wires on to the pins.
Page 23.
This will work of course but there is a better
way. It is called a Molex socket.
No need to saw off part of the connector on the coil.
They are made in at least two sizes.
The .093 is a bit big but the .063 works fine.
Just solder a wire to the socket outside the coil
and install them with a pair of needle nose plier.
Then fill the cavity with RTV or Epoxy if you wish.

Why not use the proper terminal that clips in the coil? They will not come out
unless the lock is lifted or broken. If more insurance it will not come apart
in flight is wanted, wrap a tie strap between two wires and around the coil.
The biggest problem is getting the proper crimp on the terminal to the wire.

Up until recently they were not easy to find. I intended searching
for some but BrianG beat me to it :) I am still looking for
the RX8 version.
