he wanted $174.00 for the BlueSea  
What's he smoking?!   That's $100 more than elsewhere!   Have you checked out VTE?   That's where I bought some insulators and cable pass-throughs for not much.   (I suspect VTE makes some of Blue Sea's items.)

I make my busbars from 1/4" x 1" C110 copper bar which has an ampacity of 400A, drill 3/8" holes through it for SS bolts and nuts, and use tin-plated copper lugs for the 4/0 cables.   Nothing fancy, but it works well for me, and it's a lot cheaper than $174!
