Get the cell mounts at the same time?
Are these just a flat bar that bolts directly between cells. If so,
that's not a good way to do it.
The cells will move slightly due to road bumps and vibration, The cell
cases are plastic, which will expand and contract from temperature
changes. The cases will also swell over time as the cells age.
With rigid inter-cell jumpers, all this movement causes leaks and bad
connections to develop over time.
Your inter-cell cell jumpers should therefore have a bend or kink or
other method to provide a little bit of flexibility or "give" to avoid
straining the connections. This is true for *all* types of batteries;
not just lithium.
