Heat shrink tubing.

slide it on the cable before you start

 

[ColJack]

so it's not just me that it catches out like that then?
good...

the boots on SWA catch me out once in a while too...

Could be worse - you could have fitted a 96 way plug onto a multicore cable and forgot to install the shell.

It's the back part of commando plugs for me. Get it all terminated then DOHHHHHH!!!!!

 

[JohnD]

he's right

You can get heat-shrink crimps which are very good

and heat-shrink sleeving to go over the lot

for neatness, stagger the position of the crimps. If they are all at the same height you will have a huge fat bulge.

Practice your crimping on a bit of scrap cable first, and give them a good tug to check they are tight .

if you're gonna quote yourself, don't do it so small no one can read it...

 

[JohnD]

if you're gonna quote yourself, don't do it so small no one can read it...

sheer modesty...

Anyway, you can click on the word "wrote"

 

[ColJack]

so you'd rather make me click a link and wait for a page to load rather than just read what you whote underneath the link?

just stick a URL in then, why bother with the quote at all?

 

[JohnD]

just teasing you

 

[ColJack]

well don't, I'm fighting for my life in another thread ( currently 3 onto 1, maybe soon 4 onto 1 or 3 onto 2 depending on clarification of a non specific reply by a newcommer.. )
