If it's important, I solder them also and I have special tools just for making the crimps.

If it's hidden, since it's thin, I also double shrink wrap. Then packed in Black RTV in the ends. Keeps grim from getting in there and the moisture from making small electric drains to ground if they are close.

PS. Only as a suggestion, make your next new post over in the new member welcome area.

Just in case.

Welcome to the HDForums and hope

you enjoy your ride with us ______


PS. Again just suggestions and my opinions. I have a few followers that troll me. If they jump in, sorry.
my bad, I was just trying to get the information out fast. Not worried about trolls and thank you for the input. I’m new on here and wasn’t sure where to post or the rules.

FYI, if you heat heat shrink and squeeze the empty end it'll seal itself.
