Skullz Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Don't use something to try and glue it with as you'll never get a good connection, get this from ebay and never worry about having a connection that's loose. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacing-Repairing-Battery-Terminal-Crimping-Tool-5629-/370552722026?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&vxp=mtr&hash=item5646a9d26a#ht_2822wt_881 Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Im looking to add a battery and do the big 3. I cant solder but I have sean that conductive metal glue will this work? By the way any one know a good place to get cheap fuse holders? Ebay has them for like 2 or 3 dollards does quality matter? i've never even heard of metal glue, and i'm not sure the concept sounds very reliable to me. but since i have no factual information on the matter, i will let somebody else provide you with some insight there. although i do have one question, why cant you solder? for the little bits and pieces of a system, parts-express is usually a good place to go. i did a little search and found these. quality does matter to an extent when you're doing this. the binding posts should be of as good or better quality metal as the wire you're putting into it. most fuse holders that i've seen are gold plated anyways.

Mha Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I cant solder as in I dont know how. Do them crimper tools work? The first 0 gauge I tryed to crimp would allways fall off so I ended up crimping them then gorilla taping them down. A year later and they are still holding up. But im working on my other car now. And am looking for the cleanes look I can get without having to take it to the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't terrible difficult, especially when dealing with big wires and a terminal.
