Nice crimp pattern. Lots of them on ebay, nice to have at least 4/0 for the largest. The ground and supply cable to the inverter are 4/0 as I had to put lugs on the ends when I changed the inverter.

We were able to purchase everything we needed to make up the new battery connections.  Our good friend and forum member Red Tractor had the crimping tool and some 3/0 cable we purchased from him.  Everything else was purchased online. We were not trusting the clamp repair with only 3 threads.  While were were at it we installed the Victron 712 Smart Battery Monitor.  Since we were pressed for time we installed the display in the bay by the shunt.  Once we return from our trip we will see about relocating the display.  All is great and we are on the road to Illinois.  Thanks everyone for the great forum support.

Correction, our cables are 3/0 not 4/0.
