Re: Coil wire terminal assembly improvement?

[billw]

I pre-puncture the wire with a small awl, so that the terminal goes easily straight through the core; otherwise, they have a tendency to walk sideways when you push the pointed part of the terminal through. Then, I also rotate straight, for a tight fit, as the other guys do. I spray a little WD-40, CRC 6-56, etc, in the boot so the terminal will go in easily. Don’t worry; it will dry up and leave a tight fit. Been doing it this way for about 45 years with no problems. When assembled in the boot, it is not flimsy at all.

Long live American manufacturing!
