i have a unique problem i need to feed the g.b proton pack ribbon wire thru the 3/4 wire loom from the gun to the pack …one problem with that in the pin end connector is 1" dose the connector end come apart with out destroying it ?
Are you using the GBFans light kit? From my understanding, the pin connector shouldn’t be attached to the ribbon cable when the kit is shipped. However, I recently assembled a light kit for a friend’s thrower, and encountered the very same problem with the connector already attached. I had to essentially break the connector (it’s not meant to be removed, kind of like a zip-tie) and replace it with a new one in order to fit it through the gun body.
It comes connected… AJ explains in another thread how to feed it through the splitless loom… I personally use split loom, so I don’t know from experience…
My GBFans ribbon cables came preconnected and I think they are sold that way in the shop?
To do mine I gently bent the ribbon cable so the pin connector was at a 90 degree angle. I then tied a few shoelaces together until they were long enough to go through the loom. Then I tied it around the ribbon cable and pin connector at the fold and fed the shoelace down the loom. I got my Mrs to hold the loom straight with me and I then gently pulled the connector through with the end of the shoelaces. I hope this makes sense
Thank you for the tips i will have to buy spiltloom or one more connector.
Usually ribbon cable connectors can be opened by releasing the side tabs, then reinstalled on a fresh section of cable…
