Quoted from frunch:It's kind of a pain in the butt, but what I do is strip both wires, twist the bare wires together, and crimp the bare wire into both "slots" of a 0.156 trifurcon female connector pin (the larger gauge size, 18-20 i think)...You may even be able to crimp the insulation in the second slot of the trifurcon pin, but it usually ain't pretty. Long as it's on tight and has a grip on the wire, it should work. You could probably even solder the connection where the bare wires are crimped to the connector pin for added durability. Then stuff the newly crimped pin into a new 0.156 female connector housing.
It's not exactly the ideal solution, but there's no others I'm aware of, and it's worked for me so far.
Good luck!
That's what we were thinking, but didn't know if that was kosher in this case. Thanks!
