: Consider taking them all out and going to the welding shop to make them will use them as "templates".
No can do... They're being ordered from a shop four hours away, and I need to drive the thing in the meantime. Plus, I don't want a setup like I have... Rather than confuse them, I'd like to give them a clear and concise spec-sheet to build too.
: Other is that you are just under the level of justifying buying a hammer crimpper and supply of lugs and cables. If you have thoughts of doing this in the future to other vheicles in household or buddies rigs, then most definiely consider buying the tool and supplies.
I had thought of doing just that, but the shop I'm getting them from is doing it for about the cost of parts locally. On the other hand, if I did them myself, I could do the template thing, and would have left over parts in case something comes up down the road. On top of that, it's an excuse to buy a tool!
I hate decissions like this... 8-)
