6awg terminals are extremely hard to find you will have to buy 4awg terminals instead because a pack of 10 6awg terminals at UAP/Napa will cost you $18-$25
Chances are you will have to buy then from a welding supply company or electrical supply company.

8awg terminals are too small

Steel will work for a plate but will rust and corrode quickly with the moisture under the hood. It will need to be zink plated or galvenized steel. Copper or aluminum will work much better

Like I said before in one of my other posts at $21 shipped for a kit, I'm not making $$$ on these things really when you factor in the costs of all the materials to make them.
Aluminum, terminals, wire, shrink wrap (if used), all hardware, zip ties. not to mention the time it takes to make one and the shipping costs.
