Ave!
Here's how I usually do them:

The strap end is a folded piece, but the dangling terminal itself is one layer. The originals seem to be cast, with a little blob on the tip but the body being very thin, as if a thicker cast was hammered out. Then the tab at the top is just folded over.
I use .015" brass sheet for the strap ends, and c. .032" for the terminals. You already know about the Legio XX site, yes?
