Hi Carl,
We use Cooper B-Line meter bases for this application. The 100A meter base terminals are good from #14AWG to 2/0AWG. Check out <http://cooperbline.com/product/PDFLibrary/metermountingequipment/index.htm>, click on "Single Meter Sockets -- Without Bypass," on the left, then click on "100 Amp Self-Contained."
We sometimes have to special order these, but they aren't too pricey, as far as I recall.
