      From: bggbflxben@tzk.pu              Yes, there were times when Al wires were used, but they have not very       nice properties. Al is amorph at normal temperatures and when       connected with screw pressure terminals, will 'flow away' making loose       connictions.              I woud recommend however also in this case a crimp connection with       standard car installation parts and checking then later every year to       see if the connection is still OK.              BTW: is the whole car wired with this kind of wires and cables?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
