sigma/colt column wiring diagram

sounds like u have the wrong dies

goto this website its jaycar one and has the correct dies
u can just see the slight curves on the dies where the terminal goes
some dies are purely flat so are for another type of uninsulated terminals
u should have a small shape of an "m" which curves the tabs over in the crimp

Crimping is accepted as a superior connection to soldering for the majority of uses.

Stephen, I used to use the correct Utilux crimpers but still found they didn't always curl the connector tangs over correctly. I just gave the tang gentle squeeze with pliers to preform them before applying the crimper.

Never had a joint related electrical problem with any of my rally cars.

Thanks sideshow
I've got onto a local auto elec who's going to oversee my wiring and he's lending me his Carroll pro crimper so that should solve my problem

Guys, would this be the recommended Jaycar crimper to go with those dies?

Sambo,

This crimper lists the following die options: TH1954 dies for insulated terminals, TH1957 for uninsulated.

Should be ok.

Cheers
