If I were to use 1/2" tinned braid for grounding straps between the "radio" 
and my ground bus strap, what would be the preferred method of attaching the 
braid to the radio and to the bus. It would seem to me that by crunching it 
all up and then crimping on a lug that you might be defeating some of the 
properties for using braid in the first place. I was thinking of tinning the 
ends. Then drilling a hole then soldering on washers on either side of the 
braid and attaching in that manner. Thoughts would be appreciated.
