<div> <font size="3">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.</font></div>

<div>I do love this list. After over 20 yrs, I still pull some nuggets.

<div>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. </div>

<div>Crimping seems much simpler... Now I know where to find crimpable bullets!</div>

<div>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.</div>
