Gus -

I used a standard insulated terminal and bent it as you describe. I always solder terminals. I don't remember how I tightened the hex nut to hold it in place. Probably with some needle nose pliers. I used an in-line fuse, so I could tighten the nut before I installed the lighter socket into the dash. Then connect the two parts of the inline fuse after the ligher is mounted. The in-line fuse protects the lighter and the heater fan. Power comes from the switched side of the ign switch.
