Ammeter pegged...

Guys,

I hate to be dragging this out. But I have teenage sons, that have lots of sports going on. And 2 parents both in chemotherapy. So, I don't have much time for El Scampo these days. I work on him when I can.

Quick question. I mentioned about some melting of the alternator plastic terminal protector. Should I try finding another terminal protector? Or just butt-crimp and solder on a new eyelet, run the nut down on the eyelet, be done with it and let it go without a terminal protector?
