If you don't have a 3/8 drill bit, you should probably get one for this project and future projects as well. If you look at the upper right hand corner in the picture on this link, you'll see the jumper. It's pretty simple and I think it will be easy to duplicate... http://www.madelectrical.co

One quickly realizes that by the time you have lugs big enough to fit your 10 or 12 gauge wire, they are long enough to touch each other, so your wire has to be a bit of a loop (which you can aim downward away from the heat). Also, you need a pretty big lug to get over the BAT terminal. I m
