Anyone have experience installing WeatherPack connectors?
I have a simple question. I was able to download instructions for putting the ends on these WeatherPack connectors and it looks very simple and straightforward. The only problem is in all the instructions I see, they demonstrate using the big ratcheting crimp tool that costs about $85.00. Given that this is a one time shot for me and I'll only be installing 8 of these connectors, I wasn't about to spend $85.00 on a tool I will likely never use again. I bought the $25.00 non-ratcheting narrow width WeatherPack crimping tool. On the crimping jaws, there are 5 crimping stations numbered 1 through 5. Can someone tell me how to crimp these ends properly using this tool? I know that the top crimp goes around the weather seal, and the lower crimp goes around the bare wire, but what crimping notch in the tool is used for each? It isn't plainly evident when looking at it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
