Discovered yet one more way to totally F--- myself.

Yes, I've discovered yet one more way to totally F--- myself, two weeks before next CMP Match in Anniston.

Messed with the grip & managed to CRUSH two of the wires in the relay for the electronic unit on a Steyr EVO-E.
(Pinched red and white wires between grip housing and the pistol itself).

WHERE DO I GET A REPLACEMENT? (Pilk Guns? Elsewhere?)

I just did the same thing. Hopefully you didn’t short the board like I did ($$$) Try replacing the wire first. Pilk has, or can get, replacement wires boards and batteries, but you can get those type of wires here too: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4210. Note that these are a little longer than the original.

Hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like a 4 wires JST connector, you need to measure the pitch though.
Finding similar cables on Ebay is easy, as long as you can wait for the shipping:

If there is enough space, you can easily repair it (while waiting for a replacement).
If the cable is not cut and you are only concerned it may short, pull the crushed wire from the connector (there is a little tab you need to press to pull the wire from the connector) and put a heat shrink tube where it's crushed (https://www.amazon.com/Nilight-50005R-H ... B07D33MSLZ)

THANK YOU TARGET TALK! Another reason why this is a great forum.

Ordered five wires from ADA Industries in NY (.95-cents each + USPS) just to have a few back-ups on hand. Don't have the guts (or eyesight) to attempt to splice or repair wire, as advice rendered here, could possibly short the electronic board.

THANKS!!!

Well, it appears you're getting all your fuckups in one reeking cluster. Soldier on!
