Electric Fencing energiser leads - help please!!

[scotsmare]

One of the wires on my energiser (the one that leads from the unit to the tape) has snapped in the middle - does anyone know where I can obtain a new one??

I've been to our local country store place and they don't have any. The unit is fairly old (but I could do without shelling out another £100 for a new one right now....)

Thank you

What make is your energiser? If it's a Hotline one, they are really VERY helpful (just had to sort mine out). Their phone number is 01626 331188

I can get them from my local farm store (WCF) not sure if they have them in Scotland though?

If you can't find one, PM me...I am sure I have a spare kicking about somewhere (although it may take a day or two for me to find it in amongst horsey junk).

Just go to B & Q and buy an electrical connector block. Strip each end of the two broken wires and reconnect to the block. The blocks come in strips of about 10 and are an opaque plastic in colour with two screws on each one. You will just need one of them. Keep the rest for spares.

SNAP!!!
i'm in the same situation! the guy at a farm store called the manufacturers etc and the result - didnt get any! they did do the ones that go from the battery to the energiser if anyone needs any of them.

Thank you all - will have a hunt tomorrow online.

Shils, thanks for the offer - will let you know if I need to take you up on it.

where in scotland are you? Central saddlery have a really good range, as do Russell's in larbert. I got mine there and they are very easy to fit.

I cut the plastic round the edges of the broken wire filaments, twist it back together and then wrap in electrical tape and reuse. or you can buy new connectors with the crocodile clip on them from your local feed store? Or I can from mine. They're about £2.50.

Some critter in the field keeps chewing mine....must have no sense no feeling or enjoy the zap!!
