I don't trust crimp so much either.  

 

Compounded in when I change one thing, then I should change the rest.  If I were doing that there are about 8 other strange connectors I'd need to fabricate which I would in an ideal world....but if I am doing that much work I am getting a Poo raceshop 797 first.  

 

If non-insul crimps are available, simply crimp, solder, then heat shrink. I have taken to using non-insul butt connectors/solder/shrink for all inline repair. If all you can get are insul crimps, just use a small sharp knife to remove the insul.

 

I like this "overkill" method.  

 

Do I assume you tin, crimp and then just solder over the whole crimped area?

 

 

 

Depends. If I am using my iron, yes. But my gun is really stout, so I usually just heat one end of the crimp and pull the solder through the other end of the crimp. I use hemostats for sinks when I can't afford a run.

Fastenal here carries some heat shrink tube with epoxy on the inside that is pretty darn tough stuff.  

 

 

I love the weatherproof shrink. That is something I horde

So yes, the .180" ones should work.  Thanks Seth.  Not sure why they are all smaller here.

 

I've seen 3 sizes. They are generally related to the crimp connection's wire gauge receptacle.

 

Hey I was playing with car stereo back in the early 70's. lol

<--- Feeling really fucking old.

Seth,

 

Thanks for the advice on the timing chain cover gasket on the GM 3.1L.  It took 6-7 hours including making a new jacking screw for the puller, the one we had was to long, and an adapter for pressing the balancer back on. 

 

It seems to have fixed the problem and now working well.  

 

 

Fantastic. Glad to hear it went well.

How many kids with ADHD does it take to change a lightbulb?

I laughed so hard I startled one of my managers on a visit with him. He almost posses on the floor.

posses, plural of posse.  I knew you worked at a mattress store, but didn't know it was a front.

Because I'm always up for a little confrontation,

 

I think that Mike Brown was a typical street thug.

 

That's not confrontation, that's just pure stupidity.

I'm convinced that all furniture and bedding started as a money laundering scheme and at some point made more money than the crime.
