Default Power Pole Connectors

Decided to Power Pole all the 12V gear here


First sttempt at crimping seems to have failed because the connector would
not
slide easily into the shroud, and it was a devil of a job to get the hook
over the end of the flat spring.


Re-reading the gen, it would appear that the crimping has ended up too flat
such that even
when clipped in, there is no free movement of the wire end. portending a bad
contact if I continue.

(I expected to have to sacrifice the first attempt, but any suggestions,
please?)
