I use a double crimp connector. One crimp connects the wire to the spade, the other crimp grabs the insulation to keep it from working loose. Then I heat shrink everything. I LOATHE the blue/yellow/red plastic connectors. Nothing says "HACK JOB!" like those pieces of crap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

This proved wise, because the MSD box actually did fail on me. |
