REFLECTOR: EGT extensions

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

Knuckols says to make sure you use the same type wire, connectors & solder (if used) on all temp probes. He says that if you have one kind of wire on one probe, and a different one on another probe, the readings will be different.

I know this has been gone over at least twice before- but what is the preferred was to extend my k-type EGT thermocouples? I know I need the K-type extension wire, but what is the correct way to splice the wires together? Just twist and heat shrink, twist, solder and heat shrink, or are there specific crimp sleeves that are made out of the proper alloys to make these connections?
