Wheels,
Thanks for the follow-up info. I hadn't considered the potential effects of intervening maintenance - good point....I think your securement of the repaired connection will insure reliability. You know, when I discovered the silicon tape......that's great stuff...then I wondered where it had been all my life! I find myself adapting many of the tricks I learned on building & maintaining our plane to my automotive work (including use of the silicon tape) .....my wife even has aircraft grade hardware on her Swedish Weaving Loom now.
Slyfox....your comment about knowing how to solder correctly is golden....when I have seen failures on soldered wiring, almost always seems to be due to technique issues or securement
Sounds like Wheels is good to go!
Fly well,
Dave S
