Default Receiver swap

Hello All,
To make a long story short, I need to swap my receiver out of my plane.
The antenna wire on the old one has a short in it and is causing a lot of jumping.
I currently have a Futaba receiver and I was given a HiTec. The Futaba servo connections have a key that will only allow them to be connected in one direction. The HiTec receiver does not allow for the key extension. I think I have two choices. Try to swap the antenna wire,( which I will most likely butcher) or file the Futaba key off the servo connections.
(Which look straightforward). The plane is a trainer and I have learned a lot with already.
Any ideals would be greatly appreciated.
