Using a pipe cutter and the plug as a guide, cut the surplus braid
away.
To give credit where it is due, the use of a pipe cutter is a good idea.
It sure beats the gingerly use of a junior hacksaw!
I'm with him on the method, tin the shield, pipe cutter is good, but
I use en exacto or utility knife, guess my pipe cutters are to old and
dull. It's even worth it to tin the holes on the PL-259 and let it cool
before you start.
Oh, and don't forget to install the sleeve first!!
