This is just a hypothetical question at present leonard. I like to be prepared!
I did consider that Leonard, but for 2 reasons I have have decided against it, firstly my soldering skills are not that great and secondly I am not convinced soldering would be the best method due to the arguments against.

why faff with soldering and tin foil. Just use a jelly crimp and make sure the joint wont be under tension. No need to overthink it with jb and solder...
Can you not get a hobby Steve or get out more in General :computer::wink_smile:
