Thanks again,

Indie,
(What is your real name I wonder?) Following Don's advice, you can just tin the very end of the wire which will keep the strands together while you wrap the wire around the terminal. Some electricians will follw the wiring job by using electrical tape and wrapping the assy parallel to the front surface. This protects the terminals on both sides from coming in contact with anything during assembly or operation for years to come.
