When you say crimping, you mean as per normal wire joining or is it a tool for that sort of fitting?

Looking at all the fittings generally tonight I'd love to be able to shorten the loom by being able to re-insert shortened cable into each fitting but I think they are each one time made and hence not reusable.

You've got my attention - tell me more.

Cheers

I've collected a few different styles of wire crimp tool over the years.

The one you are probably familiar with is the one with the red blue and yellow sleeves on them for the different wire sizes. A good quality crimp tool for these is worth the investment.

Another style that is less common is the crimper for terminating the bare terminals onto the end of a wire. These fold the two sides of the crimp over and force them back down into the crimp. You sometimes get people trying to crimp these terminals with a set of pliers but they just don't grip the wire. I have a good quality set of these crimps. They should terminate those injector plugs fine.
