Hi Jezza,
It's all in the prep (or, as you would write, it=92&*
$%s all in the prep)
First, cut the tips off the thimbles (makes then sit closer together) - see
Ron Wanttaja's Kitplane Construction, the second bible after the builders'
manual...
Second, wrap the section to be cut with tape - masking is fine, duct is ok
but don't go more than 1.5 times round (makes it too thick).
Finally (small fanfare) use a sharp chisel (cold or wood, if you're happy
to notch the edge) & smack smartly using the stock of your vice as an anvil
(you do have a vice, don't you??)
If you only use a small amount of thin tape, you may even be lucky enough
to get it through the collar still wrapped (about 50% of mine have).
BTW, how did you get to hear about the impending TP18 mod before you'd put
the cables on? Or were you just dithering when the news broke?
