Kay.  What you do is take a fairly thick bolt (.5-.75 inch) and wrap copper
wire in the threads.  Make sure the wire is bare.  you hook one conteact to
the head (did I mention this should be a non-conductive bolt? Have fun
soldering:) and the other to a small clamp.  By adjusting the position of
the clamp, you can adjust resistance.  You might try a more resistant wire,
if you want a shorter bolt.
