	Louis-Alain, first of all I would suggest you take a good look at the crimp terminals you may wish to replace.
	Between Ring Terminals and Quick Connect(Male and Female) there are a  number of different sizes and
	one crimper does not fit all. If there are still any of them around your area Radio Shack may have some
	suitable, inexpensive crimpers, otherwise try on line at such places as Digi-Key, Mouser, Techni-Tool,
	Jensen etc. Let me know how you make out. In the meantime I will look at some of the crimped parts I have
	around, for the UrQ, and see if I can match some tools up for you.

Hi people of infinite knowledge,



The same guy that bought the 914 also have a 1976 Lotus Elite, and this car
is now in my driveway. I know, I know, he has strange tastes. Since both
cars will need some rewiring, I'm looking to buy a professional-quality wire
crimper, with the appropriate crimps. Anyone has a lead to such a device for
an amateur like me ? 



Another solution would be shrink-tubes over soldering. I saw back in the day
some tubes with a product inside that solder wires when one heat from
outside. It was in a workshop manual at Renault, where there was a need to
maintain a very high conductivity when repairing a broken wire. The main
reason was those cars were multiplexed, and low-voltage twisted-pair looms
were need for communication between ECUs. The heat gun was a specific
device, with a deflector to protect the other wires. Very clever stuff.



So, what are my best, cost-effective solution to repair the two old-timers ?



Louis-Alain

PS : the guy that owns the cars used to have a built Quattro (AAN engine,
034EFI) that is now somewhere in Oregon. His fleet of older cars spawned
from the sell. Could he miss the high-maintenance nature of the urQ ?
