There are two styles of bullet connectors ... soldered and crimped.
The bullet connectors are soldered in place on the 'A', so I've
never tried to fit one of the crimp style connectors ... AFAIK, a
special tool is required. I've no idea if Moss carries the crimping
tool, but I do recall seeing one in a recent Anglo Parts Flyer ...
British Wire may stock them.

If you only have a few connectors to install, then you might find
it best to use the soldered style connector in lieu of purchasing
the crimping tool.
