Everlast 82i Replacement Torch Head

See attached photos. Replacement torch head came in. New is shown above the old one. The new one has this cable terminal where the old one does not…

No instructions provided and no help from everlast at this time.

What would you guys recommend doing here? The old torch electrical was simply crimped in place with the copper band shown in photo. I could maybe see it working well to just insert electrical wire and then bend the terminal down so it’s inline with the air hose, but I doubt it will all fit inside the tiny little sleeve they provided to cover the connection here.

I used one of these crimp clamps when I converted my torch to a Hypertherm. You’ll need the pliers to crimp them with.

After replacing the torch head, I would set it aside and invest in a machine torch.

Just take the old fitting loose with 2 wrenches and the new one apart and screw the new one on the old fitting with the cable and air line.
