do not archive
List,
Not to start a flame war, but an old crop duster I knew insisted on two sleeves per end.
In later years, when he discovered heat-shrink tubing, he put two pieces on the cable prior to crimping;
one larger than the other. After the crimp was finished he'd put a short (1/2 inch) piece over the loose end, then slide the smaller diameter of the two up to cover the loose end and apply heat. Then the second, larger diameter tubing, over the first. Beats black tape.
I once asked about the necessity of two sleeves. His rather gruff reply was to the effect that the cable would break before his two sleeves allowed the cable to slip....one less item to worry about while killing bugs amongst trees, power lines, and fences at 100 MPH and three feet off the ground.
He lived to be 85; your results may differ.
Regards to all.

Winds westerly 18-25, gusts have hit 51 so far in North Texas....probably not a 701 day.

Ref Heatshrink on cable crimps.
Raa has a AD not to use heatshrink on cable crimps there has been corrosion
problems under the heatshrink.
probably caused by retension of moistuer on the cable one Drifter had
considerable corrosion
all cables were to be checked and heat shrink removed
