The Sharpie was found by the process of finding what might work. After it survived the first hour the level was checked at each stop, but it was in there for 3 days and 500+ miles. I did stop at the first auto parts store and get a rubber cap and hose clamp, just in case. I never needed it.
I thought about using my wire crimpers but soldering was easy and positive. I have soldered 10s of thousands connections and know a good joint when I see one. (Solder that is 😁
- I worked for a while at the phone company and the outside lines were connected to the switch by solder connections then. - And it was a lot easier than trying to locate someone with a pin insert crimper.
