when i put my battery in the boot and when i bought the wire from the welding shop they told me not to solder it. i dont know why but they said only to crimp it and not to just hammer a fitting on to it use a proper crimping tool or your not using all the wire as electricity travels through the outside of the strands of wire, thats what they told me...

then they told you total bollocks.

electrons travel thru the metal (well actually from atom to atom but ask a physicist for a better explanation) - i hear enough of this same 'traveling on the outside of the wire' crap from our resident audiophile-wanker at work.

I would suggest that you solder the crimps so it wont suffer from any vibration or movement.

go look at the wiring in a rally car - it'll usually be crimps that are then soldered so even excessive vibration or shaking wont lead to connection failure and intermittent contact.

Classique71: how strong is the loop fixed to the floor of the boot? i would have expected you to have to firmly fix the bottom of the case to the floor somehow.

cheers,
charles.
