[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 531654, member: 35153"] At the risk of getting flamed, I can see an issue with the spring-loaded connectors 'v' screwed connector. The spring connector simply touches the conductor and that's it. A screw connector does two important things in my view, the rotation of the screw against the copper cleans it and makes a good connection, the crush that occurs provides a bigger contact area. May not meet the modern day regulations but it worked for years in the steelworks without issues. I'm sure all of the people who uphold the regulations 100% will correct me Shortly after they've finished checking their tyre pressure, tread depth, tyre condition and cleaned their lights before their daily journey off to create a crust.
