Hi Guys
There is no need to heat shrink heater wires if you dress them properly - which includes twisting them.
In my description above, the wiring to one socket is fully completed and soldered before tying to the next socket. If you are determined to wire everything then solder it, you are making things difficult for yourself and leaving it open to having unsoldered connections.
Tinning the stripped and twisted end before inserting it into the solder lug makes final soldering easier and allows a mechanical crimp prior to final soldering.
Silicone insulated wire is intended for high-heat situations. It is nice wire but kind of expensive, although all copper wire is pretty expensive these days.There is no need for high-voltage wire for heaters.
Since this is only #20, the wiring to the first octal socket should be the transformer fly-leads. If you have a fuse holder for the heaters, then the load side of the fuse must be fanned out separately to the octals.
