Re: [Spits] cleaning electrical bullet connectors

[mark.jones@exxonmobil.com]

While true, you don't have to take the bonnet off too often, eliminating
connectors by soldering wires together just seems a bit drastic to me;
maybe because I have been fortunate to have had only minor electrical
issues.

I have found, and as Richard and Doug have mentioned, cleaning connections
and replacing broken connectors, eliminates electrical problems.  There is
nothing inherently wrong with the lucar connectors and the Lucas wiring,
but after 20+ yrs of service a bit of preventative maintenance is probably
in order.

How often do you do this? Usually, only for engine removal or full
restoration.   Wires can be resoldered together.

My suggestion, eliminated the problematic connectors completely.

That would make it rather hard to separate the bonnet from the car
without
cutting wires.

..and if your don't care about originality, just function; then solder
the
wires together, and shrink-tube over the joint.
