Dunno How You Folks Wrench....

[Peter Berrevoets]

Oh no! Soldering... don't you know you should never mention soldering on the
list!!

You've gotta crimp your wires when you repair them... aaahhh!! It's
happening again; "To crimp or to solder that is the question, Whether it is
longer to last or surer to secure the one over the other..."

Had a similar experience this weekend trying to remove a wiring harness from
a 200. Wires are spliced and diced everywhere with nary a connector in
sight. The convolutions and contortions required to get near the various
paths  and diversions was ache-creating to say the least. My chiropractor is
going to be seeing me again soon!

My $0.02 cdn

Cheers!
