Advice the morning after.

Would like advice on the best way to proceed with an issue that p****d me off yesterday!
I'm building a '69 100w Plexi clone, stand up Heyboer PT. Everything seems to be going nicely until I added the board. The blue bias wire that connects to the board is at least an inch short. Hate the thought of splicing so best option seems to be a terminal strip. I'd actually use turrets.
So unless there's a better way should I terminate the unused PT leads here also? That would get rid of the bundled leads too. I've seen that on laydown trannies but never on a stand up.
Any ideas welcomed!

The pill aint going to help that situation.

How long were the leads, all the same length?
How about pictures?

Same length as the other in the pair, but it connected to a ground lug which was no problem.

According to Heyboer diagrams all leads are cut to 10" length from transformer exit.

The blue bias wire in question has the white arrow pointing to it. Even after unbundling the PT leads it was barely long enough to come up thru it's hole, no way would it reach the turret. The other day I spliced onto it, but am leery of splicing.

Moving on.
