All -
On several of my cars I have screw terminals. I notice that over time, they
don't seem to keep connection as well as the Lucar/bullet terminals on my
BJ8.
I was wondering if any of you have a trick to keeping the connections live,
hopefully forever, once they've been screwed down?
I am considering the following:
1. Use copper anti-seize lubricant between screw and wire?
2. solder/don't solder (i.e. tinning) copper wire tips?
3. use dielectric/lithium grease between screw and wire?
4. use nothing and splay out the wire ends?
5. stop being such a Nancy-boy and just screw down the terminals every
six months?
Any ideas welcome,
Alan
