There is a screw that holds the connector shell on, just remove it, lace through the wires, and screw them down into place using a regular screwdriver, and put the connector shell on. It is simple. You don't need to buy the cables for FRC because it will save you weight and money.

It's super easy. Buy one and try it out.
Sorry, don't mean to prod you. Did you leave the ground pins disconnected? I'm looking at the data sheet and there's pins 1, 2, and GND on each side of the solenoid. From the product insert, 1 and 2 are marked as DC+ and DC- respectively. Since these are DC solenoids, is there any danger in leaving GND unhooked?

EDIT: Here's a photo of said insert.
