Speaking of bullet connectors, the ones that came with the Advanced =
Autowire harness I installed in my TR4A are solid brass and in my =
opinion are much easier to crimp and/or solder than the other steel =
pieces. Not sure where they come from but I haven=E2=80=99t asked Steve =
at Advanced Autowire either..

Actually, British Wire carries both solder bullets and crimp bullets. =
There is also a special crimper for those bullets so if you are going to =
do a lot of harness work investing in the crimper may be justified just =
in the time savings.

I do love this list. After over 20 yrs, I still pull some nuggets.=20
=20
Forever (it seems), I had to solder tips of wires in bullet connectors =
as any attempt to crimp, just broke the barrel of the connector. Having =
my own opinions on solder vs crimp, I made the best of it by cleaning =
the pointy end of the connector, stripping 1/4 inch of wire and =
inserting through the hole, then solder. That left the standed wire =
flexible when it exited the barrel.=20
=20
Crimping seems much simpler... Now I know where to find crimpable =
bullets!
=20
This will be handy as the DPO cut a perfectly good harness up during his =
dissamembly of both TR3s I recently purchased. I dont think he knew what =
or how bullet connectors worked.
