lynx distributor lug size

I attempted to connect a 4/0 copper cable 5/16 hole lug from the Multiplus to the Distributor, but lug seems to be too large to fit into the opening for the negative bus bar on the Distributor. Can someone recommend a lug that will fit?

Thanks

I'm going to use 4/0 cables as well. Could you please share what lug size did you end up with?

Lynx distributor is specified to have M8 bolts. Therefore I am using metric M8 hole lugs. 5/16" is just a bit too small with 7.9 mm.

I just filed a small amount of the plastic separator and the 4/0 lug fit. I basically removed a small radius on each side near the inbound portion of the assembly, cake,

I used 4/0 lugs with 3/8" hole off Amazon, works fine.

Can you provide a link? I have tried several brands from Amazon and elsewhere, but none of them fit. The plastic in the Lynx is only part of it, the lugs are also too long to fit with the fuse.

Grinding the lug compromises the lug. Grinding out the plastic curve compromises strength of the plastic divider and possibly voids any warranty. I would like to know what the official Victron policy should be to accommodate 4/0 lugs. I have looked for a lot of different 4/0 lugs and none will fit without some form of modification.

Thank You
