I just put a few bolts through the firewall. One bolt is connected to
ground, another to the 12 Volt power. On these bolts I can hook as many
ring terminals as I want, on the engine side as well as on the cabin
side. The amount of connections is only limited by the length of the
bolts. ;-) And the maximum current is determined by the diameter of the
bolt. An AN3 will transfer more than enough current.
It is simple, economic, fail proof, light weight, it solves the problem
to get the power through the firewall, etc.

A bolt is just as good as a bar. And to fix the bar you need two bolts
anyway. ;-)
