It doesn't matter who made it,they all work the same way.I've run the same pickup with a $60 Catseye to a $2 China special.I keep the old one because it was small and didn't get in the way of my old front pannier mountings.
You have got to be joking! Certainly what you say is mostly true the fact of the matter is the OP stated he was afraid to rerun the wires let alone splice, solder and insulate them. Heck - he might just pick up the wrong end of the iron
