for those interested here is a model view of the printed part that works best for the TFS Armor Cables I got.
Here are some shots from the model:

Hardest part done,just need to bore the head and mill it to dimension

Looking Good Ted, GREATLY appreciate your time and efforts with machining the rod ends !!

thread are definitely the hard part, 3 inches of straight threads

got my brass washers in today, so was time to assemble and solder up the headlamp connections.

funny part is i ordered 10 #2S brass washers, went to pick them up and they gave me 100 washers. so i have som spares to test and play with as well as if anyone needs some let me know.

the washers were the perfect size for the connectors. installed the printed insulators on the wires, then slipped a washer over the tip of the exposed wire, then applied the heat to the wire, waited a few seconds then applied the solder to the washer and bam had a nice round ball. the solder sent right to the brass and made a near perfect mound.
