Compliment humbly received. Thank you. I thought protecting terminals that are so exposed and close together would be SOP.

The cables seem well constructed.
I'll keep an eye out for oozing hot glue. (LOL) Mainly, I used the hot glue as a third hand to hold the MDF in place while I drilled the 2 holes for the through bolts and 2 pilot holes for the screws from inside the battery box (into the MDF, but not protruding through). Clamping or bracing the MDF in place while drilling looked like a fruitless, frustrating endeavor, so I broke out the hot glue gun. The grey, metal skin on the MDF is held by the sandwich effect from the inverter's through bolts. The top of the metal skin is just a hair short of the MDF, so the cables won't rub on a metal edge.
Thanks, all, for the kind words. I was afraid it looked kinda hacked, but I worked with what I had and, so far, it works.
