That wasn't my tip! I used a standard crimping tool, a mini torch for soldering and this tool with a 3 lb hammer to make all the bigger cables. It did a great job and was quick and easy. I started to invest in one of those hydraulic crimping tools but found the small manual tool below very effective. So I just kept going with what was working. I rarely pass up the opportunity to purchase a new tool though. LOL

John,

Need your expertise here. I'm trying to pick out the proper belts and the only thing I see that are DOT approved are the Schroth belts. The rep pointed me two these...

https://www.hmsmotorsport.com/products/schroth-profi-ii

Also am looking to buy new front and rear glass instead of using the glass with the defroster wiring. Do you recommend any particular glass companies to do these or is one pretty much the same cost as another?

Thanks,

Doug
