Nice read.

Clean install, I have been recently using crimp fittings less the plastic shielding. What I have been purchasing is the none covered units then shrink tubing it after, giving a second way to hold the connection together.

I use to crimp and solder, the argument for not doing this by one person was heating the wire and making it brittle??

Anyways from more of a production like standpoint like the factory did, I use this method of using a high quality crimping tool and bare connectors with shrink tube.

Sorry for the highjack.
