I'll have to disagree that the "in-line" fixing will provide any (much) strain relief.I would recommend bending one resistor lead just as it comes out of the ceramic back on itself and trimming the leads so one is 1cm longer than the other. Now trim your hookup wire to meet the leads and fit plain heat shrink to both lead/wire connections. Solder.http://www.alliedelec.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?SKU=5710595&MPN=ATUM-12%2f4-0-STKThen get a piece of the shrink Fab is on about which overlaps the resistor connections down the wires by 5cm and over the end by 2cm. Apply the glue-shrink starting at the wires end. When you get to the open end, shrink it to max and while hot and soft grab it hard with pliers to create a seal.Done properly, this arrangement can withstand significant vibration, flexing, high pressure water and submersion to 10 metres.
Inside the ECU? That would be ideal, however, ever tried to get past the potting in a motorcycle ECU, or CDi, or most electronic components? THEY ARE BASTARDS! Not recommended unless you're masochistic.Trojan, time to bring out the latex suit again!
