Fuse Block Ganged Buss Bars

I am attempting to repair a few terminals in the fuse block. Is there a special tool or technique for attaching the wires to the new buss bar terminals? The crimp tool I have is fine for single terminals but will not work on the 2,3,4 gang buss bars. I could use needle nose pliers

but the crimps would probably be sloppy and not as secure as an OE crimp.

 

Thanks

Are you referring to the connections in the power distribution center by the radiator overflow bottle? If so, most of those are a roll over style crimper. I bought a ratcheting crimper with interchangeable dies but they are pricey. If it’s just a small job, the Painless 70900 crimper works well enough. There are other members here though that can probably suggest better options. Can you post of picture of the connector you’re trying to crimp to verify the type needed?

I think he means these guys, but idk what crimper is narrow enough to get in there. You only need to squeeze one of them though. That’s what the buss is for. Solder would work.

Those are roll over style crimps. Grab that painless 70900 tool. Decent tool for the price and will take care of those for you.

I am repairing the fuse block under the dash. Yes, the ones pointed out by GonzoTheGreat are the terminals in question. I have a similar tool as pictured which works

great for a single wire terminal but will not work for the multiple terminal buss strip - unless there is trick I am not seeing. I believe I need to reattach all the wires

presently used in the fuse block.
