ugpbmx Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) were do you guys buy the copper or aluminum to make your bus bars? I would like to drill them out and put a grub allen head screw in, so i dont have to use 1/0 wire terminals. Edited September 24, 2010 by ugpbmx Quote MY TRUCK BUILD - 1976 F-100 Ranger.

CJ18 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 http://www.metalsdepot.com/ I got my 1/2"*2" aluminum here. Copper is better but for the price aluminum is great. Just try and buy shorter pieces if you can. Longer ones are cheaper but the shipping is a bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnderLoK Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) I've used cut2sizemetals.com twice, great service (shipment was late due to ups, refunded on shipping) great people. I honestly wouldn't buy anywhere else after how nice and responsive they have been even with my small orders (.25"x1"x20 x2 copper) and a repeat of that a week or two later.
