[TR] [6pack] Crimping Bullet connectors

[Bob Danielson]

John,
Here's a pretty good picture of a bullet crimped with the tool
http://tinyurl.com/98mxxy You do have use the special bullets that can be
crimped and also match up with the wire size you're using. I also soldered
them because it was so easy to heat the bullet, touch the solder to end of
the bullet and watch it sucked into the bullet. But I was working with Dan's
wire which can take a mini butane torch without melting. I stink with a
soldering iron!

Subject: [6pack] Crimping Bullet connectors

     Just a quick wiring question.  I have the lucar bullet type crimping
tool from British Wiring.  Do I crimp back by where the wire enters the
connector, or just behind the ball on the end?  The first couple I've tried,
I crimped back by the wire, and it crushed the connector completely.  Is it
worth soldering after crimping?  I'm installing a daytime running light
controller because I tend to leave the lights on when driving with them on
during the day.  It activates the high beams at 75% power whenever the
ignition is on and I'm 
wondering if my Lucas 18ACR will keep up.  Thanks  fan any help.   John
