Hey all ~

Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and were able to
spend some quality time with loved ones....

I've got a new wire harness for my TR3 in hand and was
wondering your thoughts for those wires *not *using bullet
connectors, (I'll likely use the bullet crimping tool from
British Wire for that). So, for wires requiring spades, rings,
etc. do you suggest soldering these terminals or is crimping
a better choice? If crimping, what tool have others found to
be reliable?

Thanks !!

Soldering works well - IF you know how to solder.=C2=A0 I solder pretty wel=
