[Hallicrafters] 2 wire to 3 wire mod.

[Mark Bell]

There are some units that don't provide you the room to tywrap on the
inside.

In those cases, I use one of those "stick on hooks" on the outside, and
tywrap to that.

Not sure what the correct term for "stick on hooks" is,  but they're square,
and you peel the paper backing off.........
