Need a good battery terminal, non-compression - 200a alt rewire.

I've been looking all over for a good battery terminal that is a NON-compression fitting. The only thing I have found is

It's just about what I want, but I think I may need more room for connections on it. Anyone know of a terminal similar to this, with more functionality? It's doesn't need to be flashy, but needs to get the job done.

Here's my current stock setup http://imgur.com/Rm4hS.jpg

The black wire connected to the terminal goes directly to the starter. The empty slot on the fused distribution was the charge from the alternator, it has a 150a fuse. The other black wire is the missing charge wire from the distribution box. Now, I doubt a 250a fuse, and 1/0 gauge wire would fit in that box. Frankly, I don't want to do it that way. I want the alternator charge connected directly to the battery (fused of course.)

The way my car is wired, I'll need a post for;

1. Starter - 4 gauge

2. Alternator to battery - 1/0 gauge

3. Battery to car distribution system - whatever size wire is there

4. Battery to amp in back - 1/0 gauge

I'm sure I could combine wires on the same bolt, but I'm not sure how long the bolts on the terminal are, and I don't want to have to deal with fitting different bolts in it.

There has to be something out there with more functionality. But all I can find, is compression ones.

I'm currently in the process of rewiring for a 200amp alternator, and I want good, solid, connections for the cars electrical system. The compressions connections are cheap, flimsy, cut up the wire strands, and come loose after a while. Not good for the car's main power source.

I'm also open to ideas about how to use the current terminal.

Anyone know if/where I can get a good crimp tool for $50 or less? Needs to crimp 1/0 obviously.

so $60 for 2 terminals that'll only fit 3 ring terminals (may 6 if one is flipped upside down with the other) plus cost of ring terminals?

I sell a set that has a screw on top and it'll fit 4 terminals with the screw it comes with put if you need more room just get a longer screw.
