    I find these wires with the insulation worn through quite often. I usually slide a short piece of 1/4" marine heat shrink over the ring terminal and down to where it meets the coil. Shrink it over the worn spot and bend it tight against the back of the coil while the heat shrink is still warm. Hold it there until it starts to set and it will be insulated, protected, and will stay out of the way from then on. So far I have never had a problem with this repair.
