British Wiring will sell you the proper crimping tool for the Lucas
bullet connectors. I initially balked at the price, but then was
very glad that I bought one. I crimp when I make repairs, and replace
the female connector blocks if there's any doubt. I assemble with
lithium grease, which does a good job of excluding moisture.
The factory soldered the bullets on using a solder pot. I've tried
to solder a couple on with big Weller soldering gun and believe me,
crimping is way easier.
Best,
chris
