BusBar

[aitchem]

Hi,
Google isn't working for me .
I am looking for a busbar with at least 4, ideally 6 M8-ish screws to take tube ends on 35mm2 battery cables.
These will be my main distribution busbars from bateries to the various main distribution points.
Ideally with covers, its looking like I am going to have to make my own at the moment.


thx
Howard

"I am going to have to make my own at the moment."

That's what I did. Brass flat bar with M8 brass set screws.

Furneaux Riddall's busbar page has busbars with 6mm studs, or individual 8mm studs. Not quite what you're after, but maybe close enough?

I don't know if this will help, but here are some bus bars and posts from JG:

I haven't seen bus bars as large as you're asking for.

Thanks guys, I found most of these.
The Blue sea ones has given me an idea which will save some wire.

I will make a busbar but incorporate the feed though idea on the blue sea items.
4 M8's one side of the panel, 1 M8 take-off on t'other side, simples innit.
Covering/Insulation might be a problem.

Now, where does one get copper bar in Europe's oil capital.? aka ( back of beyond )

Merlin also do rubber boots for heavy cables like battery cable terminals.

I've bought stainless steel from Metals4U before. I see they also have copper bar but for this you'll need to email them.
