what do you do to tighten the wires in is there a bolt system or crimping?

They are crimp style. I have tooling that will work for this myself , but I had soldered these for others in the past. Plating could be compromised by heating but didn't happen when I did this with very light flame settings using acetylene torch.

You have to have a heavy duty crimper. About the size of a small bolt cutter! Or they make other type crimpers that you can by off of amazon.

You loosen the screw. Then insert the wire under the little metal plate. Then tighten the screw to smoosh the wire into place. The wire should be snug enough that you can't pull it out after the screw is tighten.

Not sure however it does require an Allen wrench to tighten. It seems to hold the wires firmly.

I used a vise grip you can used a wire crimper if you have really strong hands but I found a vise grip worked nicely .

A drill to make holes for the bolts and Phillips #2 (I think...it's been a while since I installed mine. I've purchased two more for my sons) screw drivers and something to hold the nut while tightening the bolt.

if the wire is loose, loosen screw on handle, pull back till tight and tighten screw.

It comes with crimp ends but speaker wire can be screwed directly in if you prefer.

We used an Allen wrench (also known as a hex key) to tighten everything. You can then keep it or throw it away I guess.

You have to find some pliers and in tighten the metal pieces and adjust to the desired length. P.s. The instructions are on the back. Hoped I help.

There is a long bolt that goes down..loosing it so it drops further and further down. There is an angled round piece with the threaded hole in it and you need to get the long bolt into that hole. Then tighten it up. It needs a lot of tightening.

I haven't found any written but they're pretty straight forward. This is what I do: 1. Unlock tool so that the mouth is open 2. I place the pin in the jaws with the tab still attached(it can be used as a gauge so you get consistent crimp lengths) 3. Squeeze jaws slowly (you want to hear it click a couple of times) to hold the pin 4. Insert stripped wire (you want to push it in til the insulation clears the first tabs) 5. Squeeze the jaws the rest of the way til the tool releases 6. Remove crimped connector & wire (remember to remove tab) 7. Insert connector(s) into housing pushing til they lock in. I've uploaded some pics of the process the way I do it, I hope this helps. These have saved me lots of time when making custom cables.

The method Johnwwillis describes is best. Drill the hole, feed wire through the hole, then insert into the wire vise, snug the vise up to the post, and tighten the wire. Here's a youtube video I found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p390qV_6CQ0

I use multiple bungie cords. loosen and turn handlebars, then tighten back up.

Yes, you loosen up the screw over the adjustment dial & adjust the tension setting. I found them to work great with the stock setting, the crimps come out nice, tight and secure.

Move the trailer connection first!!! Also use a pipe for leverage on the bolts. They are really tight. All hardware included. It takes about an hour. A second set of hands is really helpful.

Sorry for the delay, camping for the last week with no service of any kind, it was great! I use copper wire ends sized for the studs on the back of the switch, soldered is the best way to go, but if you have a good crimp tool you should get a lasting connection. Coat the connections with a good dielectric grease to help prevent corrosion.

Just strip a little extra wire, insert it and tighten from the top. No need to disassemble.
