RE: Advice on soldering solid core to stranded.

"Wrong, the first rule of soldering is to make a good mechanical connection first."

Yep, and the first rule of posting is to have a good synapse connection which I clearly did not have. I knew this rule, but haven't done any soldering for a while.

The problem is that the space is very tight making twisting the wires difficult. I also considered using split bolts, but couldn't find any that would fit in the available space.

Thanks for the reminder. I'll make sure my finger is stuck tightly in my, er, nose before soldering it.

Regards,
Jerry
