Nice.

What a great thread. Sort of makes you thunk yourself in the forehead and say "Why didnt I think of that"? OK, well, YULI and you thought of it obviously, but I meant myself

That's precisely the batt I'm putting the bars on... Good stuff.

can i give a little input if i may,

if this is the rout you choose to go, i'd suggest you bend the bars to go down and around the endge of the battery instead of sicking out past the battery on both sides.

worldind: I have new positive and negative Knukoncepts terminals similar to the items shown in Yuli's second pic.

They each take three 1/0 AWG cables. I dont have them for sale or anything, but pm me if its something you could use.
First ones were made with a drill press.

I see. Nice work for just a drill press. If I still had machine shop connections (precision aerospace) I'd get the guy to program a few diffeent sizes, knock out about 10 of each on CNC and sell em here for cost plus a case of beer.

Other than what Yuli said, the only other thing is those big plates in later pics are a bit close together. Very handy for welding a wrench to your ring finger .
