Default Crab work "kinda" ?

I do tons of these crab distributors mostly using a flatcap. Its very seldom i get one of the "rabbit ears" bail cap arrangement ..
I kinda like the look , especially with boots and wires etc....

Sure you like it now but not so much after you try to push all the wires into the cap while keeping them in the connectors.

Actually brillman makes a connector for the 7mm solid wires that "snaps" into the cap ,most dont know the cap is designed with a snap section to hold the wire into the cap.

Yours is next for tomorrow , i will get us a picture of the connector...

I agree. You have to stuff 9 wires into a cap which is only a little bit bigger than the helmet caps which hold 4 wires.

I was going to save it as a spare but I think its going in the truck asap. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can get it on the road before it snows.
