No need to cut the frame to install the slip ring post adding connector ends. In this short video, I'll show you how to disassemble the slip ring, and reassemble. This is a delicate and sometimes difficult process... just be patient and take your time. The slip ring I'm using has been through the hands of many at conferences as I show them how slip rings work. so, don't mind the tiny copper fingers being bent in various directions. They can be straightened with needle nose pliers. Hope this video helps. If you do decide to disassemble the Slip Ring, you assume ALL risks.
