Stop in for a cup of coffee

We used to do similar cables for the C-130 generators. You can solder the new ends on but had to be super carefull not to melt the ferrul on the new terminal. Heat had to be just right. Always did them off the aircraft cause if you went to hot it was melted lead alloy all over the plane. You had to get it 100% cleaned up. Really sucked for the sheet metal guys if it went into a seam!:rofl:

For batteries we got cables with the lead loop terminal on the end. Used a drill to remove old cable that left a post on the battery. Kinda like a thick hole saw with a spring loaded center. Sit the cable over the post. Wrapped wet rag around it. Melt the post and work the edge of the terminal into the puddle. Then add lead to fill and keep working the edge. Hit the side too hard with the heat and it's fubarred. LOL
