Made my own steering coils

Well after thinking and tinkering around I decided to try and make own steering coils. I got a old 12 volt relay from work and ripped it apart so I could use wire (gauge is a little bit bigger) Then I played with a few winding ideas and came up with this. I took an brand new eraser from a penceil and cut it in 1/2 (it's about the same size of a steering coil) and slid 1/2 on a "T" pin then other and spaced them apart with a nickle (5 cent piece). Next I took about 7 ft. of the coil wire and wound it between the 2 eraser halfs untill I had about 3 inchs left. I then coated the outside of the coil with some good old Elmers Glue-All (I would have used super glue but diden't have any) after it dried I slid it of and presto a new coil. I need to refine the process a bit but they do work.

If to make your own remember to sand the ends that get solderd to the PCB and make sure you use the same length of wire so your coils will have equal strength
