Default Lug illustration

Good point on necessity of grounding, I’ve gone chasing my tail on fresh restorations where I had not used the star washers or ground straps cleaned right down to the bare metal all that great fresh paint. Found that some times you can read voltage through a connection but the connection won’t pass current at load.

Attached picture hope illustrates the size of the spade connectors and the use of the rubber tube stain relief, first frame shows the lug type connectors meant for heavier current flow. The last frame is what I keep and eye out for old selections of wiring connectors this is one I picked up at a flee market.
