That's about what I'd do. Important thing - DO NOT force the electrical 
connection to do the work of a mechanical connection. Use both.

Twist the wires, put in connector, mash with a good crimp tool (not the 
$3 stamped steel thingies), flow solder (gas free joint), heat shrink 
tube, and something upstream on the wires to physically hold them so the 
vibration to the joint is reduced.
