You need to use a soldering iron with 50 watts of power. This is because a lower power will take to long to heat up the piece and in that time it will get all the wiring around the spot you are trying to solder hot possibly melting insulation from the wire.
The hardest to solder will be the spades coming out of the SH775. They are designed to dissipate heat and that heat will be absorbed into the unit itself. So you have to get the heat into the spade quick before too much has a chance to accumulate into the R/R.
For the spade crimp, I usually clip something onto the insulation directly adjacent to the crimp to be a thermal block. This helps to pull heat from that would otherwise travel up the wire and soften the insulation. A pair of pliers with a thin rubber band would work as well. No need to squeeze too hard else when the insulation gets soft you will squish it out.
Unless everything is exceptionally clean, liquid flux will make the solder blow much easier and you will need less heat.
This same technique works well when soldering large wires like 14 Ga or larger.

I lucked out and found one from Blackgold auto parts in Edmonton on EBay last year. Total cost with shipping was 50$
I then bought a RR harness from Eastern Beaver to connect.

You americans have it good. Triumph pn T2500676 is about $30 in europe and then another $20-30 for shipping (since it's not even listed by any Swedish vendors).
Funny detail - German parts site fiche lists the part while Swedish one does not even show it
Soldering it is

I see that the same part from the same source is now nearly twice as much.
