Yes, it should work, it’s similar to L355 or L355D.

Is there an alternative place to get this part, Radio Shack says they no longer carry it?

Are you sure? It’s still available on their site.

I forgot to add the nut before soldering the wires. After that you cannot put it on because of the ferrite core on the harness. 1. Add the nut. 2. Solder the wires. Willie,

Only took about 45 minutes to do, but I made one silly error, I forgot about the nut ;-(

NOTE TO ALL: REMEMBER TO ADD NUT BEFORE SOLDERING
