If your not good at soldering stick to the scotch
locks or failing that you could use bullet or spade crimps or terminal strip.
The aim is the same which ever you choose.
Please make sure that all live connections are adequately insulated when your connections are made to avoid risk of any live wires shorting to an earth 'such as the case of your double din' . |
Jeff last year someone did some rewiring for me behind the IPK and they used sello tape to join the wires and no plastic connectors. I had not known about it until later on it was pointed out to me by marina Brian who did some repairs. I was astounded as I paid the guy good money for a good job done. Who would you trust to do some more electrical work for me in the south east on LJW. I have a freeview dvb like the one in the pics to install. I dont have the steady hands to do the job myself. Or maybe you can tell me on Sunday. Thanks
