Hi all
Over the past three odd years, my knowledge and skill base has increased 10 fold from replacing tyres to stripping, painting, building and modding several cars but..........
Why am I struggling to put a wire in an eyelet, fit it in the guide and not have it fall out?
I've tried folding/not folding the wire over the end of the eyelet, bunching the wire up in the eyelet, crimping/not crimping the eyelet and 99% of the time the wire pops out when I'm trying to push the eyelet into the guide.
What am I doing wrong? is it just my fati'sh' fingers, lack of dexterity and general clumsiness, is there a one stop answer on how it should be done?
Just to note, most of the cars are using normal Scalextric guides and I don't club race (at the minute). Use is purely for my own and my sons entertainment but having a 2.5yr old tell me 'Daddy, the cars broken AGAIN!!!
' isn't helping me win the Daddy is better than Mummy argument
