>"Another subtlety is the recent standards requirement for two hole 
compression lugs plus antioxidant between surfaces for all bonding wire 
terminations.  I think the idea with two hole lugs is to prevent 
loosening of a single bolt attachment from movement of the wire, not so 
hard with 2 gauge wire."

I'm a firm believer in 2-hole lugs.  With two bolts, it's impossible to
accidentally loosen the lug with a side hit.  They should be used at every
opportunity when making a mechanical bonding connection, including
commercial radial plates.
