Hey Guys... just a quikie Crimping 0 gauge wire on to an o- ring to big for wire crimpers.. am i just better off with the hammer and pliers to hold it in place? Thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Bench vise?

dont have one... otherwise i would have already done that.. but if thats the easist way ill just go do it at my mates house... thanks bax

either bench vice, or a large soldering iron. or take it to your local auto elec, ask them to do it for you. you need specialize crimpers to do it correctly.

even if my mate doesnt have one... ill visit bunning acorss the rd... use there vice grips for 30 seconds... pump the biceps and walk out lol... all i need it for is so i can get my amp wire connected to my battery terminal.. so

I crimp them and also add a bit of solder just for the safety of it.

your teeth

get a proper car audio thing so it will have an allen key to secure the wire in the doodak. excuse the technical terms. may cost more but will give less resistance in the system and look better.

... apart from the fact that i have xero time to acually have time to my self i have no chance to get my car anywhere expect on the weekends after hours... ---------- Post added 25-03-10 at 14:16 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by Psi_Wagon [View Post] yeh do it with vice grips if you want to burn your car to the ground. Heres the n00biness coming out of me... how? for the sheer sake it wont old in or?

Find an electrician mate and steal his lugs and crimpers WTF is 0 gauge anyway... what is it in mm2? From my dirty memory its 52mm2 or 8ish mm diameter? Good for 190amps...

Is that 0 gauge wire it looks so small. I could crimp that with the weight of my balls. 0 B&S is around 50mm2, 00 is 65mm2, I used 0 B&S for battery cable the **** is like 10mm thick. I brought some manual crimpers off ebay, they come with a lifetime warranty & were like 80 delivered. They work upto 50mm2 cable, great to use.

no of course not... its just soo ppl dont ask wierd questions... dont stress its all good now anyways

Good idea to use some non conductive grease to stop the connection from rusting.
