Attached in the zip file below is the 3D print file (3MF) for the coil box I created to be used with ClaudeG's suggested modifications for the ACA Mini. Anyone with access to a 3D printer can print the parts out of PLA (or material of your choosing).
Use two tapered head M3 bolts (16-20mm long) to secure them top plate to the bottom. It's designed to tightly grip the barrel connector cable (little grip ribs are hard to see) so no stress is put on the solder joints.
I made up a bunch the suggested mod kits after reading his review which I posted up in the swap meet.
If you purchase a 1 meter 5.5x2.5mm barrel dc plug extension cable like this one, all you do is simply access the positive DC wire inside, snip it, and put the coil in series. Clamp the wires tightly with the top plate and you can add/removed the coil easily for A/B listening comparisons.
Here's the little mini-Build Guide for how to install the coil in the box.
