Markous Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 They look good dressed up with the shrinkwrap and techflex ?? it's a sharp looking combo. Would you mind cutting one of the crimps in half just so we could see how the cold weld went? I've seen pictures before but i do not believe they involved any tinned wire or lugs.

If i have spare lugs afterward ill do that, that would be cool to see. What would i cut it with though? I only have a jigsaw, oscillating multi tool, or a hacksaw. Probably the jigsaw would do the cleanest cut, but this thing is pretty thick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalledSonic Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Bolt cutters are good for cutting lugs in half. Reciprocating tools may smear the face if the cut, preventing you being able to see. @Markous, did you want to see one in general or his specifically? I did this not too long ago and can probably find the photo if you were curious.

Markous Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I would think the hacksaw should suffice, just don't try and get through it with a dozen strokes. Walled, it doesn't have to be his specifically just curious what it looks like and if the tin is even visible through a cross section.

06RTCharger Posted April 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Heres how they came out today, i just went straight to with the 4/0 dies, crimped four spots on the lug, then crimped down the four wings, then usd a hammer to finish off any lil stragglers that poked up a lil and was sharp. Lil peek at whats going on today, actually its a continuation of yesturdays work. Heatshielded, and cardboard template for an ABS bracket mount.

Showing i probably dont need an expensive hydro crimper lol. Can someone also post Pics of cross section of lugs if they have one of the hammer crimps or that cheap hydro crimper that makes triangluar crimps, the one that doesnt need to change any dies or anything.

audiofanaticz Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 if they are 250mcm lugs then 250mcm dies should be fine. Crimping a size smaller doesnt always work and will lead to those wings, the only time I noticed it to be worry free so far was with cheaper lugs that are not true to size so to say, but that was years ago. Also WalledSonic, I came across a video last weekish talking about how cutting the lug makes the wire look solid even though its not, and there was a method that they use to get past that. But I forgot what it was, or even what I was searching to come across the video and said method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
