crimp electrical connectors Options

[ruddyboys]

I bought some crimp on electrical conectors from my FLAPS. First when they are installed they look like crap. Second if I pull them apart from say a male spade the most likely fall off. I thought about soldering them but to pull a soldering gun out to the car or under it sucks. are there any better types. Also I have to replace some wires, can get solid colors to match, what can I use to make the stripes that will last so the wires match the wirind diagram for future owners.

Get a hold of British Wiring (708 481 9050). Have a list of the color wire you need with the color strip you want. Also count the number of strands in the wire. This is important for each wire. They sell wire by the meter. While you have them on the phone, also order the spade crimp on connectors and get the clear soft plastic insulators that go over the connectors. No reason you can't have a factory correct repair. They get wire in every week from EC, so I never have waited more than a week for anything I've needed from them. Don't let on you are working a German car though! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
