The wires running into the Boyer stator were in bad shape, so I removed the epoxy and unsoldered the wires from the plate. I am trying to decide whether I should use screws and nuts for terminals. Or should I just resolder new wires to the stator and rebed them in epoxy, like the original.
I found a Hobot reference to Greg Fauth Boyer wire upgrade, but no detaills.
Anybody have any experience on any of these fixes?

Why, yes, I do... Saturday morning I had to repair (after I found the source of irritation) the Boyer pick up wires. After clipping the rudimentary strain relief (ty-wraps), simply pulling on the wire, elongated and then snapped the plastic jacket, the conductor was failed.
After stripping, unsoldering it, the break can easily be seen, no where near the solder joint, but (very predictably) near the "strain relief"
I had on hand some fine strand machine tool wire (used in travel loops, continuously flexing) shown here beside the course strand wire.
New wires soldered in
Tied in, terminated, potted with RTV (oops, that wasn't yet done when the camera fired) and marked for easy roadside diagnosis.
Very simple, and fast. Once again.... thanks to all those who've gone before me, documenting pattern failures. :mrgreen:
