I do remember carbon pile voltage regulators, they pre date the ark! I haven't been in the business 40 years but I also remember a time when health and safety didn't rule the earth.

Hello again!

I have found these thick tinplated copper terminals.
I planning onpressing all cables together in this and attachvto the connector.

FFS , twist them together and clamp them, only been doing it for 40 fcuking years :lol: in industrial situations on vehicle drawing a lot more current thank a VX. It's not a bloody space shuttle. :lol: and will be fine for ever twisted together. Soldering or crimping the things will be better but its not the end of the world if you cannot and will be fine twisted an clamped. My only question is why the hell do you have so many ground cables of such a size. Ok one 150 amp for the starter motor current and then a few small cables for the rest of the electrical equipment. What are all the others ? We don't have that many on our 26 ton FLT s :lol: never mind a little plastic car . OTT springs to mind .

 

I bet you get things done at work! P!55 easy. LOL
