    i can't see why a crimp connection should be any problem? screw down terminal connector will be bulky

    The other thing you can do is grab a pack of mini-crimp spade terminals at DSE. Like these but the mini versions:

    And then just cut off the spade bit. This leaves a nice crimpable part which you can use for crimping wires. Just remember to heatshrink over the eventual join.
    In the race car i use one of these on every join as well as soldering it and then heatshrink over the top.

    EDIT: Here are some pics of what i mean:
