Am I safe to assume you are looking for buss bars to connect the batteries?
I get the copper stock and custom drill them to match the install.
If you are connecting the batteries together use good heat shrink (glue
filled) between the connections.

Midnite has a new one:

Here's a new one I just found with Del City also:

or
http://www.delcity.net/cartviewitem?item=80006DL&search=distribution+block

I've used the Ilsco insulated distribution blocks available at electrical
supply houses.

I've also made them out of 1/4" x 2" copper, and then used some weird way to
isolate it, or bolted them to the breaker.
