What's your preference on the above? I have a 6 volt harness to re manufacture that has a combination of both, poorly executed. I hate the look of the hard coloured plastic sleeves of the crimped joints, especially on old British re built bikes, makes a harness look tacky to my eye. I know the aircraft industry uses crimped joints but the specification of that equipment must be of a far higher standard than is available over the counter. Am tempted to solder all joints unless some one can point me in the direction of a reasonable crimping tool and some neater crimps that make a tight secure joint. Will any crimping tool work with any crimp or is that where the mistake is made? John
