Just a suggestion: Those look like minature car battery terminals, so why not a battery cable clamp in miniature? Then, make a cover/cap out of the teflon (or other insulator) and hide it all. |

The valve pin is 14.4mm dia or more prob 9/16 I think I may be trying too hard here, a clamp would be better than something with a push fit ,if only for safety reasons. I'm having trouble getting my head around the insulating bit. I will think some more on it, please keep any suggestions coming chaps..... :D |

Well, it originally connected to something. Do you have any piccs or sketches of that? Is it possible to replicate? I like the idea you started with, but maybe modified a bit. I'll PM you a quick .jpg of a part I whipped up. Top is threaded, so you can use nuts and washers to sandwich a wire or ring terminal. Feel free to post or use at your discretion. Edit, nevermind, I'll find a host and post the pic. Give me a minute. Edit again, my spellink stinks! |

Something like this? Sorta what you have, but without the taper on the inside, and a sliding fit. Adjust to make good connection by squeezing the prongs together. Maybe use some contact grease or Artic Silver (stuff to give good contact on computer CPU heat sinks)? |
| Darren:
OK that is something similar to what would have been used originally, I'll see if I can sort a pic, depends if I can find sumut in the den :lol: |
