Default Re: 1960's Tricity Viscount cooker

Oh, very nice! The contacts are formed into a nice compact array of 6.3mm. blades that accept push-on receptacles. You wrap the incoming live and neutral (which will be 7 strands, each 1.05mm. diameter) around the bolts at the bottom of each busbar, slip some green and yellow sleeving over the Earth wire and take it to its own terminal. Job's a good'un -- but you probably will find all the terminals could use another tightening after 7-14 days. This is due to some materialological phenomenon the precise details of which are a bit outside my field, but a chem. eng. or mech. eng. should be able to explain it.
