I am not a fan of how the positive wire to deans looks; from what I can see, it looks like you just touched one end to another to their tips (might be because of graininess of the picture. I try to either mesh the wires together, or twist them around each other, to guarantee a better contact before soldering. Im a nitpicker when it comes to that.
What I did, was cut the plastic sheath from the wiring about 1CM in length, poked a hole through the wiring inside, and then threaded the sensor wire through it and wrapped it around - it's a good connection and when I add solder and wrap it in electrical tape will be fine.

I would recommend a good shimming job but it is something that isnt easy for a beginner (the first time I tried, I overshimmed and blew a fuse because the shimming was too tight and overloaded the circuit).
I have looked at a few guides on shimming, and from what I can tell, all I am doing is adding small washers to the cogs in the gearbox so that they align properly, but not too tight and not too loose - it seems very very basic and simple compared to everything else - I think when I took the gearbox apart, I got maybe 6 shims out of it, and I bought an SHS shim pack which has 30 different shims in it, I'm sure I would be able to 'shim' it fine as long as I stick to around the same amount as what I took out(?).

The biggest thing I like to do is use Brasso on the cylinder, and polish to hell out of the inside and out. I also Brassoed the inside of the gearbox wherever any moving parts come in contact with it.
which is the cylinder part? I've got a lot of different cleaning chemicals and some wire brushes etc, various grits of sandpaper, a whole toolshop really - I can see on the parts where contact has been made already after playing with it that I know to lube down - easy guide I go by is = plastic = silicon oil, metal on metal = grease, which has worked perfect for me with my GBB pistols (1911 and P226 X-Five), but the gearbox has some metal parts contacting plastic parts, what oil/grease/lube should be used there? (eg the piston).
If I setup my webcam and get on Discord/Twitch or something, would you be able to text-chat walk me through rebuilding it for half an hour sometime with it on camera and you watching? I really want to get it sorted soon so I can go and play again. I got a new gun, an M870 shottie which I've mounted on my back in a holster ("I like to keep this handy... for close encounters"), but after test shooting it in the yard it's so good it could be used as a primary! But I would rather have the PR and that as secondary with sidearm and tornado grenade / claymore as utilities etc.
Thanks again WH
