QUOTE(blitZ @ Apr 3 2008, 03:10 PM)  I like to tin the wire ends with solder prior to crimping the connector. Makes for a solid connection and is less likely to pull out. QUOTE(McMark @ Apr 3 2008, 06:25 PM) I use a double crimp connector. One crimp connects the wire to the spade, the other crimp grabs the insulation to keep it from working loose. Then I heat shrink everything. I LOATHE the blue/yellow/red plastic connectors. Nothing says "HACK JOB!" like those pieces of crap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Sorry for the crap picture. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with both of these...its how I did every FRICKEN one of the gazillion in my ride! Josh |
