RPM resistors to the mags

[rfazio1951]

What is the best way to install the resistors inline to the P leads? There needs to be some kind of support for the resistor. Is there anything made for this job? I hate to hang the resistor inline with no support. Thanks for any advice.

I don't have a picture handy, but if you run each wire to the "other" side of the resistor, then twist/solder, then heat shrink the whole thing, you've got a pretty durable and supported connection. Here's an attempt at a "drawing", where R is the resistor, and xx and yy are where you have your attachment between each wire and the resistor:

----wire-------------------xx----
--yy------R----xx---
--yy---------------wire-------------

EAA has some videos on precisely this...
