John,

During my 58 restoration way back when, I tinned all wires that attached to a 
switch or in the case of the voltage regulator. It appears to me that the 
solder creates a "softer" seat for the screw plus helps prevent the wires 
from breaking.

It is alot of work but I believe it is worth the effort.
