The Lucas type acorn fixing is made for brass cored plug leads with the exposed wire core fanned out below the brass washer and trapped under the acorn which should hold it nicely in place.
This acorn fixing is not really compatible with carbon cored plug leads especially when using a short bent wire shoved into the end of the lead. This obviously will not hold the lead in place when with a slight pull the bent pin will pull out.
The suggestion to screw something into the end of the lead would be a better solution - try a suitably sized brass pan head self tapping screw to attach the brass washer to the lead for some security.
