Not sure how one would tin the wire or the connector once
the crimp has been made.
Same here G but I didn't want to bite...
I've since learned that the method I describe is not always considered the
best, but we were working with old and new wiring systems, and this seemed to
hold up for extended periods of time which was an obvious plus.

Proper wire is already tinned and
so are many connectors. I remember reading many years ago in
NASA Tech Briefs that crimpped connections are more
reliable than soldered ones in the long run due to microcracks
in the solder joint due to thermal cycling.
