I appreciate so much how you talk through what you are doing and your thought process. I would love to see videos of you actually doing some of the work.
Although using heat shrink on cables provides a neat looking finish that won’t fray. It also creates a harbour for water around the nicopress sleeve thus causing corrosion and eventual failure. In Australia we have had failures due to this exact scenario! Personally I use a second sleeve to keep the tail from fraying!
Thanks for taking the time to show these little tips So valuable to the rest of us. I know it take time, just wanted you to know that it is appreciated.
Have you ever tried marking where your cut will be, then soldering about 1/4 inch above and below the cut mark to keep the wires together? I have used that on old motorcycle or bicycle multi-strand cables. I have found it makes a fairly durable and secure cable end. I would still use the heat shrink as it will also prevent any chaffing. Loving this build, and UTAH!
It's super handy to see you tackling this WWA Highlander before I get mine. I can't wait to struggle through the process :-) I'm putting my order lists together, and curious what size shrink wraps you ended up using that fit around your nico press and the doubled wires.

Great video. I can't wait to watch the rest of them. I ordered my Highlander from Steve in August, can't wait to start. Keep those video's coming.
