Hi Doug,
At a guess I would say that the wrap around wire is just a convenient way to keep spare wire. It should only need a short length across between the two terminals. You could easily make the cards with some fibre board , some brass rivets and a bit of thin scrap brass. Keep in mind house voltage (230 in NZ) and vehicle voltage gives different gauge wire for a given amperage.
