Terminals for braided wire

Hi I bought some 7/8" tinned copper braided wire to us as ground straps, I'm looking for the flat terminals for the ends. I would like to use these rather then the regular barrel type.

Looking for terminals like this or are they not necessary. Looking for the best grounds I can produce.

I looked around for a while before I posted and couldn't find anything, so I guess that will be it. The directions for the LSA say 3/4" minimum ground straps from motor to sub frame. Maybe I'll pick up two already made just in case and use this else where, I want to put plenty anyway.
