Subject:#8 Wire Terminal Crimp w/DIY Tools. Pass or fail? PICS

Hi all

Cut a nut in half, smoothed threads off (mostly). Shaped a cold
chisel. Tinned terminal, punched, (a few times), soldered.

Punch isn't centered, wires slightly exposed, but all is twice shrink
wrapped and will be tapped.

This is for the + connection at alternator. Wire will be strapped properly.

Thanks!

Neil.
