Hello All,
I'm in the process of refurbishing my Dash harness, and following the MAD instructions on bypassing the ammeter.
My question concerns soldering the butt connectors. I'm amateurish at best when it comes to soldering, so forgive my ignorance.
Has anyone had success using an iron or gun vs a torch? It seems a tall task to this amateur, in getting 10 awg leads and the butt connector hot enough.
On the same subject, has anyone had success using the "heat shrink self solder" connectors?
I'm leaning towards the non insulated butt connectors, followed by high quality heat shrink, no soldering...
Before I proceed, thought I would tap the vast knowledge present in this forum, as it's proven a very wise decision in the past.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Rob
