Help with coil cable

[Art Mustel]

Hello. I'm asking for ideas about something that is a repair rather than a mod.
I have a Detech coil that works fine, but the black plastic cover on its cable has came off. There are 2 exposed white cables that look ok. Although it works fine I'm worried since I don't know if using it that way is right; is there a way to "recoat" this cable with some sort of plastic coating? A new cable may be the solution, but then I'd have to open coil to install it. I don't think taping it would work. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

(I am sorry if this is not the right place to post this, Thanks!!!)

Hi, kt315. Thanks, that is VERY interesting, now I need to find a distributor here in the states...it looks exactly what I need.

Only minor thing to it I will need to take the connector off in order to feed cable to the tubing, I hope I can do that!

Thanks!

Heat Shrink become quite stiff after applied.

I would us a vinyl sleeve and apply the shrink to the ends only!

Be sure to use the type that has adhesive within.

A solution I've used, in the past, is to simply cut the cable a few inches from the coil (your photo shows the cable is ok at that point) and put in a new section up to the socket. Then use heat shrink sleeving only on the repair joint.

You might try the stuff to coat pliers and other tool handles. you could dip small parts of the cable at a time.

I think that is the route I would go Too!

Just be sure to use the same wire gauge and type if you can.
