If you look at my post in the modification forum you will see that I put a 15" WOT coil on my 1000. Another thing you can do is get some coil wire and a waterproof connector set and solder your desired length to the circuit board and use the waterproof type connector for your existing coil and any other coil you want to use. I also posted an in depth how to with several pictures here: www dot treasurequestxlt dot com/community/showthread.php?t=44017 (replace the "dot" and spaces with a period ".")

I can remember when alot of Sovereign/Excal. users were shortening the cables on their coils. They complained that the cables were too long. Some thought that it lessened RF interference. Might be what happened to yours.
