Hi all Cut a nut in half, smoothed threads off (mostly). Shaped a cold chisel. Tinned terminal, punched, (a few times), soldered.

This is for the + connection at alternator. Wire will be strapped properly. Thanks! Neil. -- Neil n 65 kb image Myford Ready For Assembly http://tinyurl.com/64sx4rp '88 Slate Blue Westy to be named.
