Default Re: Crimp Wiring Tool

As was previously mentioned, the reproduction terminals are solder cup type. They are too hard for crimping. This link shows the three wire ends for the headlight in a completed harness from Snyder's.

The photo can be resized to see the three terminal ends. The insulation should be trimmed back just enough to bottom the wires into the terminal and get a good solder joint.

There is a Ford Service Bulletin on this subject but it only has illustrations of the three types of terminal ends for the headlight conduit plugs. It is dated May 1930 page 457.
