So, today saw a trip to Jaycar (which is similar to Radio Shack / Maplin, depending where you're reading from) to get 0.75mm terminating spades, as the joystick harnesses didn't have them on, so for anyone that's not sure how to fit a spade: You strip the wire at the end you want to crimp, slide it into the crimp, and press the crimp tool down as hard as you can then pull on the crimp and the wire to make sure it is secure, as per below making sure to use a crimp tool (If you don't have one, don't use pliers, go out and buy one, they're cheap, and they're well worth having in your tool box because you will use it again, and again, and again!):
So, crimped up, it should look like the below:
Now wash, rinse and repeat until you're finished:
and there we have it, 2x joysticks fully crimped and ready to be plugged into the iPac controller.
