I have used a product from "Eastwood" called "KOPR-SHIELD" . In their
latest catalog, it is number 1695 and sells for $7.99. (it's a 1 1/2
oz. bottle, but it goes a long way.)
I have used it extensively on connections on my TR 4A and believe it
does help make a better connection.
(Eastwood is at 1-800-345-1178)
Another option is silicone GREASE... I have read that this used to
protect distributors and electrical connections on EXpeditinionary
vehicles. The stuff is kinda pricey though...
Another option, it to paint the connections with liquid electrical
tape... But this can be in your way in the future... etc.
