Im stuck on page 42 of the Kaju build. The last step. My 220uf capacitors 350v capacitors don’t seem to be long enough to make it to 12L from 10U? Am I missing something super simple here? Do I just need to bend the terminal?? Thanks as always everyone

Manufacturers like to change things up on us from time to time. You should have a fair bit of extra wire in the kit, and you can make that connection with some of the surplus solid core wire instead of using the capacitor leads. 1-1/4" of wire stripped 1/4" on each end should make that connection relatively easily.

Thanks Paul- my Kaiju has been sitting for about 18 months about 65% complete, while I’ve been recovering from a nasty health scare. I was worried the help might not be the same after seeing that the company went through a change of leadership, but I’m glad to see you are still around Paul

Are all the color wires the same gauge? Does it matter which one I use Paul? Thanks as always

It doesn't matter a whole lot. I suspect there would be more surplus black and red wire in a Kaiju.
