As Neil suggested I'd make my own busbars from some flat strip, 20X4mm will have a CSA of 80mm so will be greater than your cables. Aluminium is about 1/2 as good as copper so if you make your ali busbar twice as thick (8mm) as a copper one then the 2 will perform similarly. Ali may work out cheaper for you.
FWIW Gold is actually worse than copper at conducting electricity, Silver however is slightly better than copper.
The reason why you see gold on connectors is because it doesn't tarnish, not because it's a better conductor.
 
Be connecting 2 x 280ah battery's to 2 jkong BMS 200amp to 2400w invertor and hab electric system.so bus bars needed to run to smart shunt and mega fuse on. but wili have to be after bms not befor as I'd like it or should I buy a second smart shunt and fuse holder ?

I'll be at Jackson leisure tomorrow any discount codes available !!!!! ? Picking up cerbo and upgrading sc to 100/50 + extra b2b isolated if needed
