""" """ I'll pass on some advice Brent Regan gave me many years ago: The best/most reliable connector is a good solder joint--or no connector at all. When you must use one, make it the best you can afford." Starting with this simple and sound advice, I've managed to scatter connectors all over my airplane, but also have left working loops and solder connections where possible--trim motor connections to the aircraft wiring, for example.
