[DML] Re: Tail-light circuit boards - soldering ok?

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It doesn't matter how good or bad you are at soldering. The problem is
you can't get it clean enough for it to flow properly. Hitting the
rivets is a bad idea because you could split them or damage the board,
very hard to exactly control the amount you hit it. The screws are the
quick, cheap way to go. Tighten those little suckers as hard as you
can and it will stretch the rivets and make a good connection. The bad
news is you can no longer get them in Radio Shack. Try Lowes Home
Improvement Centers.
