Check out McMaster-Carr, www.mcmaster.com, for your large stuff.

I used terminals from my local hardware store for building hairpin
match coils, and they seem to work fine.  Note that #8 solid wire will
fit into your standard #10 lug.

   I am also looking for ring terminals suitable for ground radials, 
   something less expensive than insulated crimp-on terminals, for 1/4' 
   studs and multiple #13 wires.  I also wish information about using 
   various solders outdoors.  Is it correct that lead-tin solder is not 
   suitable if in contact with typical earth?  How about near earth, 
   exposed to weather?  Is ph of the earth a factor?  What is recommended?
