Mini wire-tuck on the evo

[A//// Guy]

Butt connectors.

I'm not a fan of butt connectors. No matter how hard you crimp them, they always seem to find a way to come apart later.

ahh ok....ya meh, I dunno. So much vital stuff running through those wires I dunno if I wanna fuk with those. I'd prolly solder them if anything.

[mdost03]

Scheides, get a nice soldering iron and just some extra wire looms and practice soldering pieces together. I love soldering stuff nowadays now that I know the right way to go about doing it.

If you need some help, I am pretty dang good at soldering. I had to shorten, extend, add and remove wires when I did my harness.

lmk.

I know I know, I can solder, I have done it plenty, but I just have to build up the courage to do this, lots of stuff to break by F'ing up this solder job. I usually have only a handfull of wires to do, I can handle that. This is like 20+ (x2, one solder joint on each end) = 40+ times for me to epic fail.

When I exteneded some of the wires for my mini-tuck I just used those butt splices that have the heat-shrink on them, so you just have to crimp down the bitt splice, and heat up the heat-shrink, so they're nice and sealed up. After I did that I wrapped it all in electrical tape, and some day I'll get some actual wire loom covering to put it all in. I also have a really nice soldering iron, and if you decide you wanna attack it, let me know, and I'll come give you a hand.

You're building it up in your head too much, it's really super easy. Just one at a time. Get some flux to make it even easier, but you should have a really easy time since your wires are relatively new and not corroded and green like alot of mine.

[scheides]

Kevin, where did you get those? I guess it's an option, and I could always do that, make sure all is dandy, then solder later (read: never)...there's just so many wires! Perhaps a winter project...

You can always fix the wiring if you mess up, just cut out where you messed it up and start over.
