The connectors I use have a bigger cross section and contact area than the conductor itself, so I have no concerns as to their efficiency.

As a point of interest; RGM motors sell some nice repro John Bull rubber harness straps, not that dissimilar to the original Monster ones.

They gave me a free sample when I was last in there and I think they look rather good.
