Philip,
You are 100% correct. I forgot about the spot weld. I've seen quite a few
factory connections, especially foreign cars where the spot weld was made,
then the terminal crimped over it so the spot weld was inside a crimped
barrel, in addition to the strain relief. Makes you forget all about the
spot weld!
Peace,
Pat
