Terminals on studs: Four and no more
Good info on wiring

I don't believe that's what he's saying. Read it again:
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.
He's saying the bolt carries no current. And I agree.
BTW, the OP's photo is totally different from the Sure Power stud. The stud carries current in the Sure Power scenario while in the OP's photo, the stud carries no current.

I wasn't going to comment on it, but I was shaking my head at the 130A conducting through a 1/4" steel stud. That's nuts!
According to Chris, the studs could be 1/8" since they don't carry any current.
