Bending NACA5 cable

Posted by: Brucie on 20 May 2002

Dear All,

I'm sure many can help me very easily on this one.

What have people found to be the best way of making the rather stiff NACA5 bend neatly round fairly tight corners etc. I guess it might involve applying some heat to the cable?

Please advise.

Gentle heat with a hair dryer being careful not to snap the conductors by bending too far. On cooling the cable holds its shape
