I would just tin the braid and solder it to the outer shell. *You can
make it look better with a little heat-shrink tubing.

OK, thanks... I figured that would probably do it. I thought maybe
there was some zazzy way that I was missing. I've never seen a factory
one done, so I have no idea.


Well, there IS a bit of a "zazzy" way... I have seen done on a very
few factory connectors..... the connector is installed with very short
braid...the short braid is fanned out a bit... the connector back end is
pushed under the braid about 1/4", and the braid brought down tight over
the back end... then a small bit of tinned copper wire is wrapped over that
braid ... you will note that the back end of othe connector is bent in a
fashion that makes this easy. Then that wire and braid is all soldered to
the connector. A lot of work for really no gain, I think.... but it looks
nice.
