Parts needed: PP, half of retaining plate and 1/16 (1.57mm) brass tube.
	     Thanks to Rick VE7TK for saying that it's O.D.
	     
	     NOTE: Powerwerx.com has the Printed Circuit Board
	           connector instead of having to roll your own.

Optional retaining plate. I decided to put half for stress relief.

Final test. Looks and functions nicely.
		 I'll paint the plate and screw black
		 at a later time.
