Grounding Block?

[mtnman210]

Anybody know where to get these? I have about 10-15 ground wires that are all going to my battery post. I would like to clean this up with a ground block but can't seem to find them anywhere. Maybe I'm calling them the wrong thing. I basically want to be able to run a standard batter cable off the ground post to the block which has, as I said, 10-15, 10-14 gauge wires running to it. any ideas?

It's called a "buss bar". They are used often on boats.

that's what I'm looking for but I can't figure it out. Why are there 2 main studs. I get I run all my grounds to the screws and a main ground from the battery to one of the big posts. But what is the second big post used for?

I believe its just to keep it symetrical. I used them when I cleaned up all the aux wiring in my truck. They work great. I tucked a buss bar for constant power, ign power, and ground behind my dash.

Also the second large lead may be for mounting one in series of a main ground wire. So if you wanted to intersect your ground and re-complete the circuit out the other side of the bar.
