As to the screw type of connectors, the most often made mistake with these is not stripping enough insulation from the wire. These terminals want some copper to extend through the terminal and out the other side before tightening the clamp. If wire strands ride up the threads, they are not conducting current. Most electrical suppliers, (Home Depot included) will have terminals that do not use a screw against the wire for clamp. Those terminals are meant for large diameter strands and solid wire. The type that uses the screw to push on a metal clamp work better for fine stranded cables.

Alright thanks for the advice.
Do you think making a lexan cover and cutting a hole in it for the breaker Is good.
