[A/S] I'm starting back up on my convertor install . .




I have to lengthen some wiring, all of it is the 12V stuff from the harness to
the new location of the fuse plate, which will be installed in a drawer that can
be pulled out for inspection.

Question, should I solder the connections,  or should I use wire nuts for
connections?

All loads are fused (as they should be) correctly, I'm using the original
Univolt distribution Panel.  I've done a lot of connection in the past in autos
with no ill effects, I like it because with shrink wrap around the connections,
everything looks real nice when done and tied together, The wire nut scheme
doesn't look very good to me, and they have a way of corroding and/or loosening
up.

I'm leaning towards soldering, unless someone can presuade me otherwise (lots of
work needed, but not impossible).

Just looking for opinions I guess.
