An excellent point. Let me also suggest that this is a great time (if not already done), to invest in some tools. Specifically, a good ratcheting crimp tool, sharp wire strippers, a decent multi meter, and a heat gun for heat shrink tubing. Also, consider using marine grade heat shrink with the glue sealant inside.
Crimping is the plan! Grabbing some tools and supplies this am to have in the shop!
Yep! Fully plan to get all of these tools to have in the future. Slowly starting to build my garage up. I have a ton of tools from being a bicycle builder for the last 15 years but need a lot more now that I’m getting into vehicle mods. Actually have some high hopes of doing some form of “easy” restoration in the coming year or two so I can keep learning. Probably a 65-68 mustang or F100. A lot to do before then, though!
Nice! Many years ago I was a wheel builder and did frame prep in a pro shop. Those were the days when frames were still steel, wheels had spokes, and the only carbon fiber frame was the totally price prohibitive Kestrel. Those were good times.
