I had a friend help me with some of the terminal connectors in each =
wingtip of my IV-P (there are a number of them, BTW). He wanted to use =
his own crimper that he was familiar with, and I agreed--he'd previously =
built his own RV. After chasing intermittent operation of the wingtip =
strobes and difficulty in calibrating my fuel system, I started through =
the wiring. The crimps in these connections were not tight--two had =
pulled out. Easily fixed, but a couple of days and much head-scratching =
to trouble shoot.=20

Moral of the story: If you don't have good crimp tools--and use them =
properly, solder the wires--or solder the connecting pins if you must, =
but this is certainly an area where cost-cutting could be a very =
expensive proposition--it's certainly time consuming and frustrating to =
find and repair!
