I need some terminal connects for some 4 gauge wire. You know the connector so you can ground wires to the car or the the terminal connector on a battery. If your still lost let me know and I'll add a pic. However I'm having trouble finding some local and I do not want to order them online for time and money sake I just paid for a semester of college so money is tight. BUT I have a old amd heat sink from my 5200+ and I was thinking I could make a custom connector from this heat sink with a few cuts and a drill. My only concern was the conductivity of the heat sink...It's aluminum so it can't be horrible...any thoughts?

alright i guess i'll look around a little bit more I just assumed It was such a simply piece that with a block of aluminum ( my case heat sink) it could be done. But thanks for all the comments and concerns.
