I purchased my sockets, plugs, plastic wire connector holder thingey, and brass wire terminal ends from Brattons.
If I understand correctly, I should remove the bullet end and solder on a brass terminal end.
Note the second picture, the brass connector end does not fit flush against the end of the connctor thingey. It that normal? Does the connector thingey need the hole drilled out a bit so the brass terminal fits flush?
I see where using a dremel to grind the spring loaded treminal ends helps keep them from shorting as well as using some heat shrink around the base as well.
Bratton's catalog gives you the measurement that should be there from the back of the insulator to the tip of the brass terminal.
