Find a terminal where you can use a 1/0 ring connector.

In my truck I used a really short run of 0/1 to a Distribution block then ran wires from there. If i wasn't in shorts and a T shirt and if I wasn't in Canada in November id go snap a pic but... yeah.

most ive seen thats on the top that covers the terminals, is 2 0/1 and maybe 1 4-8 gauge hole.

could try a local machine shop? I bought some 1 0/1 and 1 4 and 2 8s from parts express for 5 $ a pop.

Visce + sharp drill bit and a good drill = 4 gauge hole is now a 1 gauge //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

another option, if you are using top posts, and have a battery that also has side posts, get these http://cgi.ebay.com/GoldQuest-Gold-GM-Side-Mount-Battery-Terminal-51090_W0QQitemZ290179738785QQihZ019QQcategoryZ50549QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I use these Rockford Terminals except mine are platinum. They have bolts to accept ring terminals of any size.

I just used ring terminals. I'm not convinced that there is any significant gain from using battery terminals over ring terminals over other options.
