there is a West Marine in San Diego on Rosecrans I think. The answer to your second question is no that is not normal and will eventually cause problems.
I have never heard that you should not solder any place but on this site. I would love to know who recommend not soldering. I've soldered crimp fitting on many different sizes of wire and never had a problem and I have purchased battery cables with cast led terminals. As far as hard spots how about hard drawn wire it is hard and stiff but can be made soft by annealing it.
I'll be home on Sunday, come on up with the wire and the terminals and use my Betts crimper. Mechanical but it works.
