One thing to keep in mind- the bolt itself is not meant to be current carrying- it is simply to mechanically affix the terminal to the base. Using the bolt to carry current would mean using the threads to carry current- and that brings all sorts of problems.
I thought that was pretty self explanatory...
I guess bus bars like the one RoyB showed, with multiple studs, are no good then?? Your comment is meaningless. I can't even imagine a connection where the stud (bolt) threads are the only current path.
Easy- run a nut up a bolt, then a terminal, then another nut- see the isolator in this thread- bad practice.
Not something many think about, but I do.
