Packard 440 is a good choice, it’s 7mm copper core. Brillman has it and you can also find it on eBay or at some motorcycle shops that work on old bikes.

Too bad no one is manufacturing those original style, crimped, “eyelet”
plug wire terminals, but I suppose one would need a crimping tool of some
kind. They’re a lot less bulky than what currently available, and probably
less prone to arcing in close quarters.

you can just get a standard round connector that fits your plug post size and solder/crimp it to the end of the wire or twist the wire in a circle and solder it

it won’t go anywhere once you secure it to the plug

I wondered the same with my Elgin. the new magneto has a threaded internal post. I hesitated pushing the wire onto the post ( which is threaded.
any help from the Elgin site would be helpful.

I looked on Brillman’s before I posted and failed to see them. Thanks!
It doesn’t say on their site, but did you need a special tool to criimp
the rings?
Also, they show a tiny tube type of terminal end, while not original,
would probably work on outboards as well.

Those ring terminals will all do the job, however they are not like the original style. The old ones had a “tail” or spike that pushed into the wire insulation in addition to the “ring”. This tail helped straighten the connection and reduce the tendency of the wire breaking at the joint of the wire insulation and the ring.
