[QUOTE="Jeffro83, post: 8623869, member: 674133"] Just find a place that sells the raw metal you'll probably have to cut it yourself doesn't matter with what it could be an angle grinder or even a sawzall with a metal cutting blade just make sure you clamp it if you use a Sawzall drill the holes where you want them and then Bolt the wires to it the only difficult part I would see would be if you wanted to thread the holes so you could just use the copper piece as the nut instead of bolting it to it with a nut and bolt but if that's the case buy a cheap tap set and thread the holes I have made them out of aluminum for a few people it's not that difficult when I get to that point with my build I will probably make mine out of copper and that is exactly how I'm going to do it except mine won't be little square pieces right at the battery they'll be longer strips more like an actual busbar or you could just use an actual busbar find a close by place you could mount it run two runs of 0 guage to the bus bar and then everything else out make sure you fuse the 0 guage power wire going into the bus bar if you do it that way and if you have runs going to the trunk or the back of the vehicle from that busbar I would fuse those as well so if the line shorts the fuses can kill power from both battery Banks [/QUOTE]
