[RFI] Connectors for 1/2" tinned copper braid strap?

[Gedas]

Your local hardware store (Lowe's, etc) will have a good assortment of 
different sized eyelets you can use. I curl the braid into a tight 
circular conductor and slip it inside the eyelet terminal. I then heat 
up the eyelet with a small torch and flood it with solder until the 
solder is right at the end of the terminal (kind of like filling the 
cup). Below is an example:
