My toaster resurrection project :-)
Need to (re)connect the nichrome wire to the insulated,
stranded supply wire.
The existing (now overheated and useless, due to heat via
bad connection)
connection is a rivet (stainless?) with the nichrome wrapped
around the head,
and a brass (looking) crimp on the backside that accepts the
supply wire.
Barring an original replacement item, what replacements
would you recommend?
Most crimp ring terminals aren't brass. Should I use brass?
A rivet would be
difficult to install here. Would a threaded fastener (nut &
bolt) be
sufficient? Stainless?
Thanks,

Please, no "Go Google this" replies. I wouldn't
ask a question here if I hadn't done that already.

Please reply in the news group
those are specially rated terminals and wire ... a first rate
appliance repair shop would have them and might sell you a
few..otherwise search google.
brass and copper wont work unless plated, ni chrome or silver
usually. the insulation is special also
