Bare about 1/16 of an inch of wire on the end of your new wire, insert through a suitable size small flatwashr, bend outwards the strands, and solder them to the flatwasher. If you were to pre-tin the washer, it would solder together easily, but should work either way. Of course, use rosin core solder, and not acid core.

For new fiber washers and springs, you can salvage them out of more modern lamp sockets.
