Fit one using the best crimp tool that exists. Now cut off the insulation
and look at the crimp. Compare to one on the OEM car loom.

In the past I've investigated crimped and silver soldered "industrial"
terminations by sectioning for metallographic and SEM investigation. I
recognise that my recent stuff might not meet OEM standards, but I
reckon I can make reliable crimped or soft soldered connections for loas
of 4 amp or so in flex rated for 40A.
