In order to fit the barrier strips on the Vandersteen 3A Signature with my 1/4 " Postmaster spades, I completely remove the screw from its screw terminal. Then, I threaded the screw into the spade and with plyers, I crimped the spade tightly around the screw. You can do this with most spade connectors without harming or destroying them. Those connectors which have a space or gap just behind where the screw would go are designed to accept this kind of "abuse". This will allow the connector to fit within the channel provided for the barrier strip.
What size spade for Vandersteen 3A?
What size spade is required for the model 3A (NOT the signature version)? The grooves which contain the screws look pretty small.
It looks like the space is 1/4", but the problem is the outer dimensions on 1/4" spades are more like 1/2". Am I mistaken?
Particularly, will the Cardas CCMS-S fit?
