You want all stainless hardware: for each lug or wire, have a nut, bolt,
star washer, washer, locking washer.
You have your copper plate in position. Put the screw in upside down so
the head is on the underside. Topside in order from copper plate on up
the threads: Star washer, radial or ground lug, washer, lock washer, bolt.
Use two socket wrenches to tighten everything down (it also makes the job
easier and faster). With this, and using all s.s. hardware you don't need
to worry about soldering anything. I just realized that if you are using
lugs and not wrapping wire around the screw you can probably omit the flat
washer.
Hint: You can probably get away with doubling up on each screw. with 2
lugs per screw you will be able to add later without having to undo
anything.
