    MEP-002a wiring sizing question

    Exactly, put e wire into the tube, crimp it down. Now you have a better connection that will not pull out. Regular wire crimper tool for 10 gauge works fine, crimp it 4 times or more. It will still fit 002a terminal lugs fine.

    MEP-002a wiring sizing question

    Sure, this is one. The cross bar is staked in place, forgot what size of drill. The big copper piece is the tube. Sorry for the delay, iPad was being like a typical apple product.

    MEP-002a wiring sizing question

    Do NOT solder lugs onto the wire, crimp only. What I do is make crimp T lugs from 1/4" copper tube, drilling a cross hole and using a short length of 10 gauge solid wire as the tee. This prevents pulling it out of the terminal clamp. Solder melts at at a low temperature, this can cause issues.
