Will copper ones be available?

i doubt it. Too expensive. Everyone wants them but nobody wants to pay for them. Then you are talking about the bolts...nothing except copper likes to play nice with copper so those also have to be copper...and nobody wants to pay for that many copper bolts.

Aluminum is GREAT. You will never in your life be able to tell or even measure the difference for this application. Unless it is the color you are after i wouldn't worry about it.

The bolts that are 98.8% copper "Silicon Bronze" ones seem good for bolting to copper, and the much more expensive ones 99.3% Copper Beryllium are great too.

again, you just stated my case for me...nobody is gonna pay for that. Well not enough people to justify buying the parts. Not right now anyway. Plus, once again, there is no difference in voltage across the block between the two materials so it doesn't even concern me the least bit. If you wanna spend some serious money on terminals, there are really nice ones out there by other manufacturer's. These are just my own little creation.

Just curious, Are you cutting the threads by hand with a tap or will your CNC do that as well ?

drilling all the holes with the CNC but tapping them with my drill.

The fuse blocks and speaker box terminals have been selling like crazy and has slowed down the progress a little bit on the blocks. But the last few days i have been working on getting the design just right. Also, making the covers and setting up the CNC to cut the fat aluminum bar. I should have them up for sale tonight and ready to ship by early next week. These can be used as grounding blocks, positive blocks or both at the same time. I will have about 5-7 colors available to choose from as well. Here is a little update! Don't forget to check http://www.wcCarAudio.com they will be available soon!
