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. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Crimping seems much simpler...
