Posted October 12, 201014 yr Should fit over the terminals also? Or what size should I be purchasing?Thanks.
October 12, 201014 yr Author I always like to go over the terminal, just creates a cleaner look!Yeah that's what I meant, trying to figure out what size I need to fit over the terminal..
October 13, 201014 yr Well, the biggest part you'll have to go over is the terminal.. so measure the widest part of the terminal. I'm guessing 12mm isn't going to be enough (12mm is less than half an inch) the 3:1 is measured at the starting size.. so 12mm would go from 12mm to ~4mm.. you don't need that small.. I'd probably get the 18mm or something along that lines.. even the 24 (I think that's the bigger size.. something around there) would shrink down to about 3/8ths of an inch when heated.

October 17, 201014 yr I always just tightly wrap electrical tape around mine Yes! No need to use a anoying heatgun
