I can't stand it!
Must know now!!
I used 24 gauge Kanthal. Same thing I did with my OliveR. Daddy taught me the "spare of the moment heli coil made from a piece of wire trick" when we used to work on engines when I was a young'un. I blame him and my Uncles for my love of tinkering and also my love for fast cars. One of my Uncles still builds winning race car engines.
While we wait.........
Kinda hard to see it down in there......
But,....it's in 'ere!!!
I'm waitin' on a couple tiny end mills that'll help me cut a cleaner slot in the heads of the silver contacts.....
There's some more testing to be done,....but I think these are gonna work great.

Will this help?
Handy that both 6-32 and 8-32 happen to be 32 threads per inch, right?
But why a high-resistance wire like Kanthal, that tends to form an insulating oxide coating on it? OK, there's a lot of cross-sectional area in the current path, but still...
Cause it was handy, the right size, and stiff enough to hold its shape. <~insert joke here~> As far as oxidation, it hasn't affected my OliveR and that was a long time ago.
Handy & the right size: CAT5 wire (home run, not patch cord) is typically 24ga pure copper. Whether it's stiff enough is another question.
Trying to visualize what you used a Kanthal helicoil for in a dibi-sumpin.

Replaced the original button contact, the bottom contact that presses against the threaded rod, and the bottom battery contact with the silver contacts. IIRC the original Chicago screws were 8/32 and so was the contact that went against the threaded rod. Other might have been 10/24 or 32?
I'm only puttin' 'em in the copper mods, at the moment. These little jokers are time consuming to make, and I think I'll have my hands full for a little while, just trying to keep up the pace, with the added time....
Once I have a little free time,...I'll look into the possibility of doing the
8-32 retrofit type o' thing. For the time being, we'll have to just look at this as a limited edition, copper/silver combo. You know,...the ultimate in conductivity,....silver and copper....what's better than that???
So, Bob,.....when you gonna wanna take delivery of one of these babies?
Limited time only.......... Operators are standing by....... May not be legal in all states......
Damnit Corey. 
Now you bring up the limited edition aspect .......all I wanted was a simple retrofit of a couple of mods
You have your ways don't you???

Ya'll are gonne hate a sloths bragging on the special limited edition highly conducive Copper/Silver CC mod 
it'll get old...fast 
it'll get old...fast Well, a mod made entirely of solid silver would still be better than that.You know,...the ultimate in conductivity,....silver and copper....what's better than that???
I'll second that nomination.Well, a mod made entirely of solid silver would still be better than that.
Tapatyped
Was thinking the same thing!!Well, a mod made entirely of solid silver would still be better than that.

Sign me up for that one!! 10000x better idea then titanium
