may03LT Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 Hey all! Im doing a top-post conversion for a kinetic batt and I want to solder all the ring terminals like Meade does. I had a length of 1/0 and a 1/0 terminal, which i was going to practice on, but the wire felt kinda loose in the ring terminal so i didnt do it. Am I supposed to buy the next size smller ring terminal? I thought i remember reading that somewhere...... Thx!
may03LT Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Posted December 19, 2007 Well I looked at the write up again.....it just looks like theres a much tighter fit of the wire(s) in the terminal(s) before they were soldered.....but Ill give it a try

AI James Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 you can always try criming it then soldering
may03LT Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Posted December 19, 2007 I got the terminals and the wire from darvex. The terminals are very similar to the ones Meade used/ uses. They are 1/0. Ill also have to do some 4 and some 8 (for the fuse block/alt/starter wires). Like i said i'll give it a try....practice makes perfect....and Ill take some pics....
may03LT Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Posted December 20, 2007 Update: whoops I was trying out a new wire cutter and unknowingly cut some of the wire itself......live and learn I guess
