You must be an engineer, I wouldn't of thought of that.Did you crimp a ferrule over the wire? Most mechanical connections (set screw) are not designed for the fine wire used in automotive applications. So a ferrule lug is crimped on first to hold the strands in place and make the connection resistant to vibration.
Nope. Makes perfect sense, but right now, the set screws are just down on the stranded wire.Did you crimp a ferrule over the wire?

Those are at Amazon for less money They seem niceI’ve never seen the penny trick, but that’s pretty cool..... I guess.
However....... these are the best terminals I’ve had on anything, by far. PA Performance
I like the lead free factory style like this:
They don't look very fancy but they work well. Rest of the setup is a marine battery box from o’reilly and a shut off switch from harbor freight. It was very cheap and works well. I know you probably won’t be able to use a setup like this because your battery is in the engine bay, but wanted to show what terminal I’ve found work best for me.
The terminals @Rdub6 is using look nice.
Yeah, they’re nice pieces. I think @DudeStang just installed them also!Those are at Amazon for less money They seem nice
Yep. I put them on my car back in the spring. Very happy with the quality and the clean look.Yeah, they’re nice pieces. I think @DudeStang just installed them also!
If I had a small blowtorch and heated it up could, or would the solder stick to the brass lug and copper wire. I am thinking about buying heavy gauge wire on Amazon and making my own custom set up
I probably shouldn"t say always serious. My favorites are when a new guy gets on here and hes a wiseguy. Second when they don"t do the checklist right. Third is when the give incorrect advice. I have enjoyed my time on StangNet, and have learned a whole bunch. You guys are smart and very welcoming and that separates this forum from all others.I like foolin with Karthief...Hes always so serious
