Sonia if you need some good quality crimps let me know and I'll chuck some in the post to you!

I pay pennies for mine!

Ahh - thank you! I shall let you know if I need any more
I am guessing, you're an electrician by trade?
You ever had to chop Mr Spades dick off?

[Bailes1992]

Apprentice electrician, my Fathers an also a Spark by trade (Although is an Engineer now)... But we have our stashes of crimps

Ahhh thanks - most appreciated
Hope it's going well

I can't say I've ever trimmed a spade connector down
I would assume it would effect the currect carrying capacity of the crimp. But you should be fine with the airbags because it's only every going to carry current for a very short amount of time anyway.

Cool........ It's the seat belt pre-tens
Just wouldn't fit neatly together and didn't want to leave metal exposed in the middle

Ohhhh I thought you meant they are too wide!
Spade connectors don't go together completley. I usually use a bit of headshrink over them.

If you didn't want to tape them up or head shrink them then you would probably be better off with bullet connectors!

I couldn't find any insulated bullet connectors
Yeah - they just wouldn't tuck into each other nicely.... As I put in the blog though I would of ideally liked to use heat shrink but the problem is, more set up costs of having a heat gun = I really can't afford that with the house move coming up within a month or so's time. Thanks for your advice.

Didn't think of that

[Bailes1992]

Or a hair dryer.

Or a hair dryer.

I heard they are far too under powered.
Did consider the hair dryer option!

I use a lighter for the heat shrink tube why bother with anything electrical at all?

Lol. there's always next time

As an ex-smoker I think I'd have to really hunt for a lighter anyway

Your car has a cigarette lighter built in - no idea if it'd be any good for this, but I bet it gets pretty damned hot!

To touch yeah, but don't think it would be good for heat shrink.. I may be and probably am wrong though!
