Conductors fixed in screw terminals shouldn't be tinned.

I have been wrapping tails for years it prevents the conductors shifting. This is a 35mm bond I recently did, wrapped and you can see there is no shift and that is as tight as it goes.View attachment 55570

That's a nice job, I would have used a ring crimp if possible.
mainly because I don't have the patience to do all the fancy work as shown above!!

OK Thanks why not Westward's pic shows a clamp not a screwed terminal connection!

True. I must admit I was referring to not tinning when the wire was directly under a terminal screw, which should not be done. This is slightly different although the principle I think is the same.

Then we will have to disagree on this occasion mate. nothing personal.

While on the topic , old fuse boards the main switch terminals were rounds and accepted the tail a nice fit with twin screws...

now today the tails core is still round (ish) but the cage terminal is square

was this never pulled up upon ??
