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.

Geesh, just use the OEM connector; $4.50

Thanks Brian for finding those. That was on my short list.
Please see if you can find some for the RX8 coil.

I don't have any rx8 coils to try; but maybe it's just the 3 pin
version? (looks like 4pin is the D580 connector)
