How to fix the HT lead in a new coil?

I decided to change the ignition coils on my G15CSR with Lucas RITA ignition.

I bought 2 new coils from JSL and attempted to fit them today. All went well until trying to fix the HT lead into the coil. The old coils had a screw thread for the HT lead to screw onto. The new coils do have the threaded screw (or any other means that I can see) for fixing the HT lead. The only option appears to be a push fit but surely vibration would soon break the connection.

What am I missing here? Any suggestions?

Shouldn't that just be a rubber boot to keep it in place?

Sounds like your new coil needs the lead to have a crimped on metal plug. There is a little bent pin that takes the contact to the crimped on connector. If you visit your local auto electrical engineers, they should be able to fix you up.
Am pretty sure that 'Vehicle wiring products' sell the conectors too, you never know even halfords might. They are fairly common in the car garages.

Definitly Vehicle Wiring Products. I bought the push on clips and rubber boot from them.
