does anyone know how to make the coil wire strait again after it has been wrapped around the shaft and retains the coils like a set of headphones? i hip mount everything and like the coil wire to be strait not coiled up like a telephone wire.
Use a 3/4" piece of copper pipe,spray the copper black. Run the coil wire inside the pipe and clothes pin the two ends so it doesn't move. Lay it in the sun for a couple of hours, BUT MAKE SURE YOU CHECK IT EVERY 30 MINUTES SO YOU DON'T COOK IT. This should straighten it back out.
