[TR] Wire terminations

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Actually, British Wire carries both solder bullets and crimp bullets.  There is also a special crimper for those bullets so if you are going to do a lot of harness work investing in the crimper may be justified just in the time savings.

I do love this list. After over 20 yrs, I still pull some nuggets.
Forever (it seems), I had to solder tips of wires in bullet connectors as any attempt to crimp, just broke the barrel of the connector.  Having my own opinions on solder vs crimp, I made the best of it by cleaning the pointy end of the connector, stripping 1/4 inch of wire and inserting through the hole, then solder. That left the standed wire flexible when it exited the barrel. 
Crimping seems much simpler...  Now I know where to find crimpable bullets!
This will be handy as the DPO cut a perfectly good harness up during his dissamembly of both TR3s I recently purchased. I dont think he knew what or how bullet connectors worked.** triumphs at autox.team.net **
