Voltage regulator connectors.
Strip wire, push through fiber board, push through connector (original), bend wire over.


Ya gotta love the simplicity of it, the plug and play of its day...

I've owned a lot of old bikes.
First time I've seen anything like this.

Lots of Britsh cars are wired the same way. My 1959 Austin Healey Sprite used those connections on the regulator and almost every lamp base.

I reamed lifter holes to remove Nebraska rust.
I sanded lifters to remove Nebraska rust.
Holes are .001" larger then lifters.
The lifter laying on cylinder is new.
I ground .002" from lifter side to make it fit the slot like the other seven.

As a little inspiration for you, these I took of a square 4 at Baxter Cycles, Mern Iowa, in 2016 in their back room amongst the used bikes they had and thought how cool it would be to have it.

There was a project bike on ebay ten years ago.
I owned a 29 Henderson, you cannot buy anything.
Life, money, patience can run out before you get it running.
I bought books, found parts are available, many times easier.

Valves and seats look good, will test after guide install.
