It was meant as a help for others as Mike made it sound like he had something from previous that may have had pictures... very easy to say strip this solder that but some of the soldering joints i have come across in the passed you would have thought "what the F%&K did this to the wire". They certainely would have been better of with a twist and tape.
Please, I dont want to get into an argument (I know that may suprise some in here)
All I was trying to say that for someone in the game saying they would like to see how it is done by someone not in the game, comes across as being a smart ar$e.

Yes I know that Mike is in telecomunications and really does know his stuff, but working on car electrics is not how he puts food on the table.

I would just as happily see a tutorial from you on how it is done properly, but I understand that when you do car electrics as a job, the last thing you want to do is talk car electrics after hours.

Mikes offer to do a tutorial, I have no doubt is honest and genuine (that is just the type of good guy he is) and I reckon he will be out in the shed this weekend doing a wire mod and taking pics along the way. (that is if he is in Australia and not O/S working)

And I doubt Mikes reply was a cheap shot at you, He would have simply been offering to help.
