Title: Sleeving under plastic heads..
Post by: Eszett on Thu, 06 April 2017, 07:21:45

I have a question... How do I change the sleeving if the cable has real plastic heads like that

Can man open and close such plastic heads?

Cutting and glueing leads to terrible results. By my hands at least.

Try some replacement heads (https://www.aliexpress.com/popular/usb-connector-shell.html).
