[QUOTE="blert, post: 1049897, member: 64702"] These terminals are solid brass that are copper plated and chrome plated. They hold very well without having to go ham with the Allen key, I did rough-up the post with a bit of 120grit sandpaper though. They hold 0-8ga wire. I used ferrules for a better "crimp" with the set keys. Those felt rings on the before pics worked wonders for eliminating corrosion but I always soak them in dielectric grease. It is messy and gross but have never had a "cursed cotton-candy" issue since I started doing that years ago. I did not use them this time so we shall see if the plastic cover is enough. Those four-bolt look like beasts. I never did really like the standard two-bolt ones and threw that one on (emergency situation) as it was the only thing that was available at the part store two years ago. [/QUOTE]
