But I find if you solder, you can't close the hasps all the way over and you really battle to get the terminal into the block, but point taken.

And plus... where's the tutorial from one of us okes who solder hey? Nah I didn't see one either
It all depends how neat your soldering is, and sometimes yes you're dead right... won't be the first time I've had to de-solder and try again coz it won't fit...1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

Scott, if that was my mother, I would be a confirmed, certified hill-billy.
I was gonna say redneck, but Paul will remove my appendix with his sword.
Pete, I solder like I draw, and even my stick man looks like he has some debilitating disease, I am into electrical stuff like mother Hubbard was into pet food.

The solder makes the wire brittle as opposed to flexible.
Vibrations will eventually break the wire right at the solder.

When I crimp I usually find there are two separate crimping points. I solder at the front crimping point, then the rear crimping point is over the insulation rather than the core, so I wonder if that will help? I'm thinking the vibration affecting the soldered part should be eliminated by the fact that there is a crimp behind it over the insulation.
My thinking is bare wire will corrode over time, so I solder to try to ensure the connection between the wire and crimp doesn't corrode.
I'm sure this is a very debatable topic but not in Stan's thread1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

To me the main problem is the crap crimp tools so often sold with the contacts, and the high expense of quality ones. Compare the result you get with a car or bike manufacturers.
So soldering is a cheap solution.
another way to help stop the wire breaking is heat shink tube, over the crimp and up wires individually
