That is exactly what I've used. It is just a press-fit kind of thing. Make the hole big enough for the sholder of the collar part to fit in, a bit snug - not loose. Then when you push in the terminal strip it expands the collar a bit and presto- you're all set. It may seem flimsy to just press these in, but that's what Tek did, and once you try it you will see that these are just as secure as they need to be. By the way, if you've got used ones that need to have old wires removed from the silver plated cups, do not twist the soldering iron in the cup, you'll fracture the ceramic. And, once heated up these things really retain their heat so be careful about touching until cool. Once you've done a couple it will seem very easy to work with. By the way, be sure to get spacing measurments exact! You can't fudge on a ceramic terminal strip. Tek used to put one on each side of a tube socket, as I've done, and it does make it a bit difficult to get to socket pins, but you can also put them both on one side of a socket, like a turrent board would be. Have fun!
