Maybe that mod isn't for everyone, and $13 is a cheap alternative. But it looks like it has worked out for a few people though. Lifting pads is a sign of too much heat in dissasembly. I did mic some kitchen drawer twist tie and it was 0.015" not 0.025" so still not the right wire. And we don't know the failure mode either. Though I don't know if anyone bothered to test it with 4 way flashers either.

Anyway, you have a cheap workaround
