The hole of the fuse terminal seems also quite big compared to the stud though.Thank you I have the smaller lug holes 1/4
I looked for 1/0 #10 lugs and couldn’t find any.
Also can I attach the fuses like this View attachment 190429

I have multiple fuses. I have a fuse on the battery, this one is for the fuse box - the fuse box says to use a fuse less than 125ampNo. Put the fuse in a holder.
And no, that big fuse needs to be where the conductor connects (or as close as possible) to the battery.
The fuse box is rated for 100amps and it said to use 1/0 cableAlso, in your original photo, when the terminal hole is too big you're losing contact area.
It's just catching the edges of the terminal.
That cable is also unnecessarily large for feeding that fuse panel.
Thank you I used your link to find #10 lugs for 6awgIf that is a Blue Sea ST blade fuse block, it is a not 1/4” stud. Specs make it look like a #10.
The block is rated for 100 amps total, 60 amps per circuit.ST Blade Fuse Block - 12 Circuits with Negative Bus and Cover - Blue Sea Systems

I fused mine for 50 amps and used 8 AWG 75 c wire with this stud

The Blue Sea is rated at 100 amps, however if you remove the back cover and have a look, most people with any common sense would be reluctant to run 50 amps total load. I’ve purchased the Blue Sea fuse block and the other one seen on Amazon, both have the same rating but I like the construction of the Blue Sea better, still de-rate it and avoid exposure to weather! Just nickel plated steel.That fuse box will not do 100 amps. Trust me on that.
Just calculate your actual loads and use wire big enough to carry those amps.
It will be a much easier install with smaller wire.
It also needs to come straight out of the bottom or you won't be able to get the clear lexan cover on.
I got a knockoff on Amazon for free to review, and the quality sucked. Metal was folded brass and the fingers to make contact with the fuses would loosen up after only 1 insertion. Tossed it in the trash.The Blue Sea is rated at 100 amps, however if you remove the back cover and have a look, most people with any common sense would be reluctant to run 50 amps total load.
