[QUOTE="6string, post: 1232706, member: 120039"] I was thinking peeling back, connecting, shrink wrap over each individual connection and over it all once finished, and after your post, realised that what is in my mind isn't going to be in the OP's after reading my post, so thank you good sir. Personally Nick, I wouldn't go any of my suggestions, even if I had the right connectors to post pictures of. I really think of it as an unsafe option, and I'm with you there too, I haven't seen these cords first hand stripped down, and I doubt I will, as I don't work as sparky anymore, and haven't for ....sheesh, so many years I feel old just thinkin about it :D For the $40 odd that those chargers would cost, I don't see sense in skimping and risking a fire hazard. I've had no shortage of frayed cables (more to the point, the insulation) with nothing more than electrical tape to cover it, but I would never "advise" anyone to do their own repairs without having knowledge in what they are doing, even if it is with half the voltage that we have here in Oz.
