DOUGLASS CONNECTORS

Post by RICKG »

Any tips on getting the douglas connectors to go together?
It just seems like it takes an unreasonable amount of
force to get the shells to engage. I've resorted in a couple of
places to grinding the connector slightly and am using di-electric
grease. Any advice??
