| Subject: | Re: help for tap off starter cable |
If Charlie's good advice does not fit your situation and you think it better to
make a splice, then I would NOT make a flag terminal as described in fig 9-5
because it is designed for connecting to a battery. The screw and nut are
unnecessary failure points and so is the ring terminal that is clamped to the
flag. Perhaps a variation of this method would work for you:

Make the splice as you intended without cutting the large cable, except, instead
of a flag, wrap the small wire to the large cable with a fine strand and solder.
Protect the splice against vibration.
