Use a slick type of wire nut. You may have to cut a rib down to make it round. The drill size should make the hole the diameter about half way up the wire nut so it can fit snug.

Insert the wire into the hole in the wire nut and bend the end sticking out of the end of the wire nut an out 1in from the end over 90 degrees. The other end bend about 3/8 in from the end crimping it tightly against itself. Push inside the wire nut and screw the nut on the wire enough that it will stay.
