The alternative means severing stock wiring, stripping both ends and crimping TWO sockets to the supply side of the severed wire (which may, depending on the core, require firstly crimping a pair of wires to the supply side) and then crimping a plug to the other severed line. THEN performing the actual connection you started out requiring (by crimping yet another plug to the newly added line.) <br />This is the actual requirement (up to 5 crimped connectors) when contemplating replacing the all-in-one scotchlock which would take all of 15 seconds to perform.<br />'Jus sayin'.PJL500https://www.blogger.com/profile/04332465184939893432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-55185502351791814692014-03-26T07:08:09.262-06:002014-03-26T07:08:09.262-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-57768022710009665002012-05-14T19:07:52.922-06:002012-05-14T19:07:52.922-06:00Oh gosh, I could not agree with this post more.

As the owner of an 88 Audi, I am very familiar with the headaches poor quality wiring can cause. Crimp connectors are not good enough for me. Sure, they're a million times better than the blade type, but they still expose the strands of copper wiring to air, making corrosion possible. I always, always solder and heat-shrink my wires. It takes longer, but the end result is wiring that will, in all odds, far outlast the car.Micah Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109745237362004234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239694080870817712.post-27937606967903703372012-05-14T12:13:03.758-06:002012-05-14T12:13:03.758-06:00I have to laugh at this one Chris.

I work for a two way radio manufacturer (public safety/utilities, not "M") and many years ago, when I was in the installation part of the business, we used to have arguments, I mean discussions, with customers as to why we used the more expensive connections (only by a few cents per connector!)instead of the push on type in your article. Some people just couldn't understand why we did.<br />Memories, memories :-)<br />Save today, pay for it tomorrow.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041821712022471596noreply@blogger.com
