Kick pad not working

[DocBrown]

Well, finally my kick stopped working again. I need to replace its piezo, but I don't know exactly wich one should I get. Does anyone know if these will work properly?

That will work. The wires won't be long enough to go all the way to the jack, so you will need to splice the existing wires to those piezo wires. Or if you are skilled with soldering you could just remove the wires from the new piezo and solder the existing kick wires to that. There are some tricks to that though. Also if it were me I would put a dab of hot glue over the place where the wires are soldered to the piezo. That might help to keep them from breaking off so fast.

Thanks a lot Jman!
Once I get them, I'll see how to install them.

Here is a thread with pics where the piezo was replaced by splicing in the new piezo.   http://www.2box-forum.com/index.php?topic=1294.msg12451#msg12451
