an3 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Good evening. I stay in Elspark, Germiston and I am looking for somebody that can help to crimp 2 lugs onto cables. I think it is an 8mm camble. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Topp Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) Hi I guess this a battery cable. In the case you cannot get anyone with a large crimper to help you. This not the best method however it works as an alternative. Strip the wire and fit the lug. Put the lug with the wire in a vice and close vice tightly. This will flatten the lug which is not the best. Pull on the wire to check and if a little loose, repeat. You can also put a screw on the side of lug and tighten after the first attempt to put an indentation in the lug to stop the wire from coming loose Something to keep in mind. Loose or bad connections with large amounts of current is bad news. Edited June 5 by Peter Topp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sass Posted Monday at 09:08 Share Posted Monday at 09:08 Visit your local welding supplies shop. They all make cables and will have the appropriate crimper to assist you. YellowTapemeasure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
