Josh,
I did buy solder-on heavy duty ring terminals for the 4/6 gauge wire(s),
from Wrangler Power Products. I also bought ring terminals for the other 3
wires I need to solder, but those are smaller 12 gauge wire which I forsee
no problem soldering. Just the large 4/6 gaugers I had to inquire about. I
think I am going to wait till it warms up a bit, so I am not outside in this
15degree weather soldering. Thanks for the offer, but with your and everyone
else suggestions and help, I should be able to solder on 2
terminals..........maybe anyways. Gotta go run to Home Depot tonight and get
a propane bottle for my hand torch.......current bottle has some in there,
just wanna have a back-up bottle incase.
Haha. Thanks again,
Kyle
