could you tell me if this is right four wiring up a coil.coil side connector first then coil connector pcb
pin 1 Violet
pin 2 nc
pin 3 Orange
pin 4 Grey
pin 5 GND (shield, no colour)
Following R26 -> RX is Pin3 (purple)
Following R27 --> RX ist Pin4 (gray)
Following C2 --> TX ist Pin1 (orange)
Following C1 --> TX ist Pin5 (Sheild)

Yes. I want to use it with original Tesoro coil as I have several. I have (2) 8" white open centers, (2) 8" white solid types, (1) brown 8" open center, (1) 10" open center. I'd like to try making my own coil later. Even then, I'd like to use the same connector so I can switch back and forth between stock and homemade easily.

if you are useing a 5 pin domino (SL175FX) coil connecter is this so you can use an original tesoro coil

I finally received the rest of my Bandido 2 Mod parts including the coil connector. I think a lot of people have had a hard time finding the original Switchcraft connector in small quantities. I ordered 2 from www.heilind.com. The part number was SL175FX. I believe the price is around $6 each ordered by phone. If your order online, they have a $25 minimum so, if you buy 2, the price will be brought up to $12.50 each to meet the minimum. The original number used by Tesoro was SL175F. I believe the only difference is the newer part is ROHS compliant. It does not have mounting ears. Instead, the entire body is threaded. I am including a picture.

Here is an updated 3D view.

Here is the board after moving some components to allow room for control potentiometers mounted on the front of the case.

Hi Merc. This is interesting mod. Waiting for your reports.

[Merc]

That's exactly where I got it. Thanks WM6. I'm still revising my board. I am having to move the 220uF caps away from the edge of the board to allow space for mounting potentiometers to the front panel. Also I have layed the regulator down for greater clearance. I'll try to get some screen shots up soon. I have most of the parts in. Still waiting on Jameco. I hope to build during Christmas holidays.

I can't find where I originally downloaded my schematic from. It was on this site but I'm not sure of the thread.

Probably here:

I can't find where I originally downloaded my schematic from. It was on this site but I'm not sure of the thread. Here is my schematic exported from kicad. Components not mounted on the PCB are not shown so you won't see switches and pots, just the solder pads where the wires connect to the board.

Ooops! I see now that it's cut-off on the right. I'll try to fix and repost.
