Since crimping and, on the alternator, using flexible wiring, I haven't had a problem.

They cant break if you secure loom to the casing and then a short supported loop on to the terminal . No expensive connectors . its only when you have a foot of heavy cable going to the vibrating component that you will get problems with it snapping .Support the cable and use what ever connection you like .Personaly I solder when i think that some pillock usualy me,is going to lean on the wire doing somthing else like changing hoses etc.or when I will remove the component and leave it dangling on the wire . Every one does it in the heat of the moment crimped wires can pull out under those conditions . How did ballast resistor wires snap?What's vibrating or are they melting ?
