Here are the photos.
I had to drill pilot holes first and then follow on with a 10mm drill.
It may be better to open the holes out in more stages as the drill grabs and lurches especially if you have to drill through the old terminals due to lack of area on the bung.
You must not use the old terminals as the drilling operation will make the old part go short circuit.
Try the new parts in carefully and do not push them in fully until all the parts fit into the holes as the internal parts of the old part shift and will damage the new parts if they are fitted while you are drilling.
A spot of epoxy is needed to stop the new parts falling out and shorting.
They are on test in a big set with 25W audio that had to go to the workshop with an erupting smoothing can. The other one had also quietly gone open circuit so I did both in the end.
The chassis on the trial set is not deep enough to accommodate anything else being tacked on especially with there already being a fan doubler in there.
