A few pages back we were talking about ring terminals.
Here in this post. Rally dash redo
So lemme update you. The thicker gage metal is more difficult to crimp. The Astro crimper couldn't do it. I had to use the copies of the packard crimpers.
In some (all?) I slightly reshaped the terminal 'wings' so it would crimp tightly. In other words the terminals seemed a little big for the gage and/or insulation.
This one you can see the insulation crimp seems wide. Although it held well and the shrink tubing went over it fine.
This one looked like it would need trimming
A little better
