Hi John, that makes sense for normal wires. I failed to mention though I am using the non copper wires sorry. These are the Accuspark carbon core leads. The central core is a strong coil of sorts, but a single strand if that makes sense. It could be unravelled but not spread out like a normal multi-core wire.
The carbon core is very tough. I was surprised actually. I actually cut off the modern booted plug ends and put on my own crimped ring connectors then some black heat-shrink over them. I was able to double the core and do a very solid crimp using the proper tool on the plug end. I use thumbscrews to hold them on.
I suspect just poking the solid core through the hole and folding it over will be enough to make a decent connection. I just wondered how other people did it.
