Message	this application. Especially when coupled with shrink tube and used on a part that's bolted in-place/stationary. The fact that engine manufacturers don't use solder in their brand new wiring harnesses doesn't automatically mean crimps are superior. They're manufacturing a brand new harness, so it doesn't make sense to solder. There aren't a lot of crimps either (the only ones I can think of are used for ground points and the pins which are crimped into each "prong" of every connector, which doesn't really count since a crimp is the only option). One continuous strand of new wire is always better than either a crimp or solder. ________________Sig Separator________________________ Selling used ACT full-face sprung clutch kit: $300 + shipping ConUS!

Follow Ups	Harness Corrosion - Stokens (AR) 15:11:56 04/18/15 I cut that connector off and soldered the sub harness - itsa300zx 17:44:48 04/18/15 Also a good idea. Use heat shrink to seal where you solder.
