LoudBimmer Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I will try out my "cheap" crimper to see how well it works tonight. As long as it seats tight in there, connection will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decaf Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 What about solid copper lugs? Imagine how much less effective it would be without that split to wedge the wire left and right Connection is OK, won't heatshrink well at all for under the hood applications where corrosion is an issue.

I got them off ebay and the seller mentioned that they were solid copper lugs. Fucker lied. I will be ordering new copper lugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'd take off those lugs, strip a new chunk of wire, and just solder it.
