That should work but maybe use a 1" to 1.5" reducer and a 1.5" cap so you have a bit more room for wires.
Or just use the copper ones mac has already done just need another 1" bsp nut to secure it.

thanks Mac . Well by looking at that it is going to be very tight for connections by the time you take into account the thread on the element and the plug dosn,t leave much room for a termial block . Mac how many mm of exposed thread is left on the element after tightening , and then how deep will a plug screw in ? Interesting ;-)

Personally I wouldnt use a terminal block, I would solder & use heat shrink.
I have an idea for an element guard and know it will work, I might just need "coupla days" to get it sorted ;-)
