I would float the cores, connect the "middle" mots with spade 
connectors via the spade that is usually on top. Then, connect the 
wires that you took off the core of the first two, and solder them to 
the core wires on the other MOTs.  You may have to lengthen 
them.  Also, I would highly recommend putting them under oil.  You 
will never have problems with a four stack, and with my six stack it 
suppresses it well.  I had to embed the core wires in wax, works well.
