    These were the connectors on the 60V stator I cannibalised for the wiring and grommet.DSC_0083.jpg

      I do have the original weaved sheathing from the previous stator, perhaps I could use the zip ties posplayr mentioned to hold that sheathing in place after it's been slit (instead of electrical tape). Presumably that sheathing is pretty heavy duty as it was the stock insulator.

      Thanks for all the responses!

        They are probably just crimped butt connector and not soldered. They have to transition from solid core stator wire to multi-strand for going to the R/R somewhere. You don't want to run solid core beyond the clamp down. If the solid core flexes due to vibration, it will eventually work harden and break off.
