Sta-lok problem
Gordon,
I re-rigged my Columbia 29 using all sta-lok terminals and did not experience any of the issues that you are having.
As recommended on Brion Toss's video, I used crazy glue to keep the cone in position while tightening down the fitting. When re-opening to inspect, the cone stayed in place and the wire formed well around the cone. All that was left was to put in some silicone and some loctite on the threads and secure the fitting again.
Try a couple of drops of the crazy glue on the cone and see if this helps.
