Yep, bought 5 more of each, getting some brass jam-nuts made up to make them easier to install. While soldering to the SS worked, soldering to a brass jam-nut will be a lot easier. Actually I am going to solder the ferrule end of a "Male Tab" Stay-Kon fitting to the nut, then just crimp a Female Disconnect Stay-Kon to the wire that will attach to it. I.e. it will turn it into a quick disconnect for easy installation or replacement.
Let us know how that spring loaded pin work with these Chi-You flat tops please. I have been think about buying a few.
I was hoping bap would know. I wasn't planning on ordering the spring loaded pins until a co-op was started. In the meantime, the top caps have telescopic pins so a standard fork or ring terminal could go between the two telescopic nuts, allowing for a little adjustment at least initially. The spring loaded center pin would be ideal though, and the 20 amps "limit" is more than enough. A brass jam nut and/or washer would be great for the other connection, I haven't brainstormed anything better than that. One could buy a brass Chi-you clone and cut the threaded tube sections into rings, I'm not sure it's "cost effective" but it's something. One mod tube should make a few jam nuts and a spare top cap.
Edit: Can any of you more knowledgeable folks tell me what other mods use the same threading as those top caps? I know it's more than the Chi-you and King, but totally forgot where I read it.
Any possibility of tapping a small hole on the bottom of the cap for a brass screw to hold a fork or ring terminal? I'm still scratching my head but it seems like that would make for a really easy cap swap. A jam-nut would still be nice though.
