Just a quick comment on anti seize. I have basically stopped using the kind with the aluminum except in certain areas. I now use the stuff with the copper in it. It’s a bit more expensive of course.

I put anti-seize on the screw at the base, not under the connector.

Ah. No need to go that big. 8 gauge is plenty.

Interesting. Why did you make that decision?
