If you have a vise to hold the connector steady it helps. Tin your bare
cable ends. Heat the U shaped ground sleeve a bit and put a little pool
of solder there. Tin the tip connector as well. Solder the ground of
your cable to the sleeve. Once it is cool and stable solder the tip. I
hope this helps. Charles.
