Fuse box replacement / upgrade

[Ras12]

I am considering replacing my stock fuse box with DMCH's 106913 (http://store.delorean.com/p-7190-fuse-box-assembly.aspx). Fortunately I don't have any issues but I want to replace it just in case I searched and read a bunch of posts and it seems like the best way is to crimp the wires then put a little solder on them so the crimp connect will never come loose and wiggle. Does anyone know if the terminals supplied in this kit can be sodered? I was told that soder may not bond to certain terminals, is that true?

Also any advice from people who have done this replacement before would be greatly appreciated.

I installed that fuse box, and the included terminals worked well. I agree that soldering is a good thing for added piece of mind (flowed into the crimped connection; I did mine that way), but above all I'd make sure you are using the proper barrel crimp tool to ensure your connections are solid.

It can be soldered without any problem.
You can take a look at my album to see some pictures:

Hope this helps.

I did mine about a year and a half ago while waiting for parts for my engine swap. Since I'm still doing the swap, I haven't actually tested the new fuse box yet... But i did document everything, and included some links to some other guides I used. Hopefully it will help a bit:
