I took a different approach, soldering the wires to a brass press-fit
1/4-20 threaded insert in both top and bottom 1/2" thick disks. I've done
this on both pine and Lexan disks. I think on the pine disks, I used epoxy
as well as press-fit on the inserts. The threaded inserts serve both as a
mechanical and electrical attachment to the top-load and lower base
assembly, and this way there are literally no loose ends.
The inserts I used were found at work but are similar to
