Suggestions??

Thanks!!

I prefer Burndy brand terminals, as they are more stout, when compared to the Amp brand commonly used. They make terminals for 2AWG with stud holes down to 1/4". For photos and more info refer to the thread linked below.

Below I have listed the sizes and Burndy part numbers for some of the terminals I used.

Battery terminal 1 AWG 1/4" or (5/16") hole YA(Z)1C-2TC14

Ring terminal 2 AWG 1/4" hole YAV2CL-TC14-FX

Ring terminal 1 AWG 1/4" hole YAV1CL-TC14-FX

Ring terminal 1 AWG 5/16" hole YA1C -TC516-FX

Ring terminals 2 AWG #8 - 10 hole YAV2CTC10FXB

Ring terminal long barrel 6 AWG #10 hole .41 YA6CTC10

Ring terminal long barrel 6 AWG #10 hole .48 YAV6CTC10FXB

Ring terminal Std barrel 6 AWG #10 hole .41 YA6CL1BOX

I got mine from my local Graybar industrial electrical supply house. Ace Hardware also carries them. If you have a friend who is a residential or commercial electrician, he will know all about these. Ask him if you can borrow his Greenlee crimping tool.

PS There have been reports on this site of Amp brand terminals failing due to vibration fatigue on starters and alternators. You won't have that problem with Burndy terminals
