Well I certainly opened a can of worms by suggesting solder connections. I won't do that again.
For myself though, I will continue to twist & solder wires on my old 914. Luckily for me, I'm not an auto or avionics manufacturer and I've found many problems with existing crimp connections and have had no problems with soldered connections. |
