Default 1998 Accord V6 alternator/battery L shaped crimp lug on main fuse block

I am doing a big 3 wire install on my 98 Accord. I want to run the wires as they are from the factory, which runs from the alternator to the main fuse block then from that to the battery. I am using 1/0 g wire. The problem is I cannot find those L shaped crimp lugs that connect the two cable to the fuse block. Where can i find them ? I bent one of my copper lugs but it isn't long enough to reach the bolt.

I also want to know it it is possible to just run the new 1/0g wire from the alternator straight to the battery, with an in line fuse added, then from the battery to the connection where the alternator wire is currently connected ? I ask that cause I am thinking about running a 4g wire to the fuse block from the battery instead of a 1/0g. The current OEM wire looks like a 8g so 4g would be better than that OEM 8g. Any info, ideas or general help is much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure if honda sells that connector. You can look on an OEM site like hondapartsnow.com to investigate.

I'm not familiar with a big 3 wire install, so why are you doing this?

It is for car audio. If you want to improve current flow to the batteries, you use larger wire.

1)You run an extra power wire from your alt to your battery
2) You run a ground from the battery to the frame
3) You run a ground from alt casing or alt mounting bracket to frame.
