The Clamps Have (1) 0/1 (2) 4 & (1) 8 AWG Mounting points..

Cool, keep the pics coming!

Hate those terminals though. lol. They look great, but don't clamp down for Sh*t! You can tighten em all day and give em a little twist and off they come. lol From my experience anyways. They are cool terminals though.

Yeah. It's because the inside of the terminals are tapered, and so are the optima's posts.So they slide right off the top. The stinger posts look a lot straighter so hopefully they will grab better. We ended up making a thin aluminum "crush sleeve" that went around the post and the terminal clamps onto that. It worked out pretty good.
