Where do you buy a big bar of copper anyways? Hardware store or something? L

 

from the distributor here in Toronto, it has a weird name I'll find it for u in a bit.

 

i cant find the name of the place i got those from but check these guys out Canadian Brass & Copper Co. :: Home they were almost the same price.

this is where I got mine from, the KW location, guy cut me a pretty good deal

 

.5" will be thick enough right?

 

thickness? yes..

 

Ya thickness and was looking at around 6-8" long

 

Depends on what you are going to do.

If you want to attach ring terminals to it with nuts and bolts, then 1/4" is plenty.

If you want to tap the bar and bolt the ring terminals directly to the bar, then I would consider 3/8" or 1/2". If you want to do it up like Yuli's then you're going to need 1" or thicker depending on the thickness of the wire.

Copper is best, but you can use aluminum for this as well.

 

check metal supermarkets they carry all type of metal and metal alloys
