If you are refering to permenantly soldering the r/r to the harness, I would
recommend against it. If you are refering to how to attach the connectors to the
harness, than, "yes". Crimp and solder, is definitly better than crimping alone.
It's not hard, if you know how to solder in the first place. What I do, is
use crimp connectors that crimp on the wire and the insulation.
Crimp both and then solder into the wire crimp. Then pull the piece of
heat-shrink tubing down over your job and heat to fit.
If you look at this photo, you can see how it will look when done.
The bayonet connectors that I attached are on the left, in the photo.
Hope that answers your question, Ern

I've never heard of bayonet connectors
My post on another forum.
BMW 2002 FAQ - HOW TO fix a broken connector/make your own harness. 56k DIE
look for the picture that is labeled A B C.
you would crimp the insulation at A and wire at B
after you do that you would take a soldering iron at B heat it up, and melt solder into the wire.
you may have to recrimp at A since the insulation will like melt some.
do not get solder or have excess wire where the connectors connect.(C)
I would reccomend 60% lead, 40% tin for ease of soldering.
you should also file down the edge where the connector breaks off.
you can get cheap irons at the dollar store, however a major fire/burn hazard. Or this should be a great knockoff station (i have the actual HAKKO version)
Soldering Station-CSI-STATION1A
you tube and do some research on Soldering technique.
