Crimping is not needed. My cables are soldered into the terminals. Yes, it takes a lot of heat and a lot of tin, but gives better connection than crimping. And stronger. Keep in mind though, not too much heat on the rubber :laugh:
Like this:
Just without these pellets, but with regular solder tin.

this link had thicker cables on as recomended by the 'master of overkill' kirkynut
had mine professionally fitted as I wanted all the wiring to the second battery checking out
So, my reputation procedes me eh?
Have a poke about on Winch Solutions website and see if there is anything of use on there also.
The only thing when buying the cable by the metre is that you also have to buy the big crimp on terminals and have a means to crimp them satisfactorily. I have access to a big crimping tool for these terminals so I'm alright Jack!
Can anyone else advise on how to crimp properly without one? I can't see a vice doing a very good job.
Crimping tools for that size terminal are not cheap!
