What is the best way to connect a capacitor to a resistor in series? very small crimp sleeve, solder? Leads are 20 gauge tin plated wire. Thanks to all.

After checking the components to be joined, the X-2 caps leads are real short, say 1/4", resistor leads are long and will be affixed then trimmed, not a problem. I'll also need to attach a lead to the exit side of the cap as the lead is the same 1/4" length. Scenario is resistor, in series, feeds X-2 cap, cap then feeds the other pole of the AC outlet (L to N). Cap leads are 20 gauge and resistor leads are 22 gauge, not that that makes all that much of a difference, just background info. Thanks all.
If you are installing this on your house 120VAC, I hope you understand what you are doing and do not burn yourself down.

Thanks for your concern. All is well.
One method is a Lineman splice. Then solder and clip off the ends. This will give you an inline splice.

Twist the leads tightly together, then solder.
Either is good as long as there is a good, gas-tight connection.
