No You May Not.

Totally kidding.... ;-)

I currently have a 2000 LCD that was ACE'd by Warped Sportz with WAS eyes. The eyes come with the wires exposed so you have to do a custom job. Warped Sportz installed an IR3 board with a piggy back ACE board that allowed the eyes to work (they used a generic connector). I wanted to move away from that board setup so I installed an A4 Fly board. If your familiar with all the boards WDP made that used the Angel eyes, you'll know they use the ribbon eyes. I wanted to stay away from the ribbon eyes since they were so fragile. I ended up using computer contact pins soldered individually to each wire and inserted them one-by-one into the connector on the board. It works and all but if I open the grip to modify settings with the internal menu the wires can sometimes come loose. While the grip is closed I've never had a problem. I want to utilize the plug portion of the angel eyes with the WAS eyes.

So... that's the project... small and simple project but it would make my life a little easier if I can utilize that plug.

Hope that explains it all!
