I don't think that soldering is an accepted method owing to possible 
vibration fatigue and cold joints. Adhesive-sealed, shrink-wrapped butt 
connectors are the accepted way. In case of a failure at the wrong time, it 
would be wise to keep a prewired spare in the ER or other compartments, 
fused and direct-connected to your house bank.
