Believe it's a 5/32"
rivet, and do not replace with a
rivet. If your #16 ga. SF-2
ground wire is good, properly
crimp on a 3/16" or #10 (non-insulated - or pull that
insulation off)
ring terminal to it's non-burned or no doubt warn section.
I could tell you to tap the
lamp cap instead for 10-32, and that's not a bad thing to do. That
rivet hole once drilled out with a #20 drill
bit... Don't expect you have one. I mean
wire gauge drill
bit size #20. Would otherwise never re-rivet. Or if 3/16"
rivet they used for
ground that's a #11 drill
bit - same. Rivets especially for replacements are not a good solution for replacement. Ever - no matter what gear.
My go to on all vintage or modern gear I service or fabricate is an actual 10-32 threaded green grounding screw. No question of why it's there or of purpose. They are commonly available in 3/8"
thru 1/2" in length and given 1/8" aluminum
lamp cap thickness... either will work.
The only problem than is how to
ground/bond that to the
lamp cap or in some cases to the plentium mount for the lamp
base which is normally not powder coated. I have specific drill bits to do this, and or dremmel bits, but if the under side of a 360 series
lamp cap probably is not powder coated... the lock washers below should do the trick any Multi-meter could test the bond on.
In either
rivet case I use external tooth lock washers. Not exterior/Interior or just interior tooth lock washers, but external tooth lock washers under the
ring terminal. I might even add another one under the head of the
ground screw. These should pierce the powder coated paint of the
lamp cap, and or make good contact with the aluminum cap if tight. Use zinc coated steel lock washers and not stainless steel ones which do not conduct as well. A 3/16" drill
bit thru the
rivet for
ground will be sufficient to make a hole for these
ground fittings.
Another external tooth lock washer between the
nut and the
ring terminal to keep the
nut attached.
As for the
nut on such a
ground, I normally use a 10-23 Top Lock
nut of 18-8 stainless steel to cap this assembly off. Any
nut however would do including a
nut+lock washer type
nut if tight.
Post if any of the above info is not
clear enough.
Ground is important but simple enough to establish. Sorry if past info didn't detail it sufficiently.
