I appreciate all the input.... Great thing about being on the Forum.. Thanks to all.

 

things dont change much, the old tried and true is still best, solder and heat shrink tubing,

 

Yep, I solder and "Shrink" wrap everything. Pun intended.

 

define New Fangled

 

ACCORDING TO WEBSTER: Newfangled: 1: attracted to novelty, or 2: of the newest style

LOOK IT UP IF YOU DON"T BELIEVE ME!

Which is exactly what I was referring to; the newest, latest, greatest, whatever... Most folks know what I meant. Is your point because I put the space between the the new and the fangled? Geez, relax a little, this is a forum. Often times you'll find that there are folks that don't have much to contribute by way of real knowledge, so they just lurk around and nitpick others comments or contributions. There's a name for em, would you like me to define that to you? Or can you figure that one out on your own?

 

+10 on the solder and heat shrink. Anything else invites problems later down the road.

 

This is the only way to go for a quality connection

 

I remove the plastic barrel from a standard butt splice. Insert the wires completely though it and crimp then solder and cover with adhesive lined heat shrink.
The adhesive lined heat shrink is much better.

 

+1 for solder and heat shrink tubing.

 

Bigsky I was just joking I did not mean any insult to you and I am sorry if it was
taken that way
