Hi Don and all,
That could work. Even better, with an *uninsulated* ring terminal for those two wires, and stacking the terminals back to back you might be able to keep everything in line |
Un insulated terminals will certainly reduce
the cross-section of hardware . . . you can
still insulated with double-wall heat-shrink
per http://tinyurl.com/j6cueg2

Also consider fabricating your own 'flag' terminals
to be soldered on as described in Ch9 of the
'Connection. If you're really handy with the metal
forming, you can make right and left hand flags
that would stack back-to-back so that two
offset fat wires in addition to a third, straight-on
conductor could go onto the same terminal with
the both offset wires on the same side.
Consider 3/4" hard-copper couplers as raw material
for the terminals . . . pick a drill bit for a mandrel
that fits the proposed fat wires.

Hi Don and all, |
Just realized that I'd put my foot in the
tar bucket on this one . . . didn't read
the problem closely. Given that the small
wires are tapping a major feeder, both
wires are candidates for protection
at the source end . . . consider installing
two, ATC fuse holders
http://tinyurl.com/jjel6e6
into a single un-insulated terminal then
having that terminal install on the contactor
stud back-to-back with the fat wire terminal
and all wires parallel to each other.
I think you'll find that most silicon rubber
boots will stretch over this combination.
Then butt-splice extensions on the free ends
to continue on toward their assigned tasks.
Install fuses size to the extension wires . . .
30A or less for the 10AWG, 10A or less
for the 18AWG.
