<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Jerry,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Assuming you're doing the typical Deans connectors, it's
pretty easy. Tin the wire first and don't be surprised at how much solder that
takes. Connect both halves of the Deans (per their instructions) and tin the
gold connector with a little extra blob of solder. I like to use a small vacuum
vice I got from Radio Shack a few years back to hold the connector. Slide the
heat shrink over the wire and solder the wire to the connector. With everything
pre-tinned, the heat's not on long and having both halves joined, absorbs the
heat. Slide the heat shrink in place, shrink it down, and you're done. All of
this is on the package except for the part about hanging on to the connector
with the vice and it works quite well. Hope this helps!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am going to start soldering connectors for an
electric. What are youall using as heat sinks to keep from damaging the
plastic of the connector. Gotta take a lot of heat to flow properly and get a
good joint with # 13 and # 12 wire.. We used to use steel cases to weld #10
and less wires with a magnesium/lithium/alloy material you put in, clamped the
case, and lit it off. Really fused everything together. Of course that was
back in the 50-60s era. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a crimper for sermos high amp connections
and those are done for the "charging' hook-ups to a RR and power supply.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Found an OLD soldering iron that is about as old
as I am, looks like it will take a good 100 watts to heat up the 1/2in.
tip, so I got a good long term heat source.</FONT></DIV>
