Thanks, and it worked. if there is a next time; one could use a die to thread it, then use a brass nut.😀

I probably would of used a wire retaining washer. But, your way works as well. Thanks for posting!

I used the same method but to save a trip to the hardware for washers I cut a small piece of a model a spark plug wire (brass) and used a finish nail to make the hole .
