Looks good but a couple of points; replace the S.S. bolts with silicon bronze or brass including the nuts and washers. Both are 70-80% copper. S.S. compared to these two metals is a poor conductor.
Well I got a chance to run some load today (space heater). Running the space heater for about 5 minutes, the bolts started getting warm, so that answers the question about SS. I tried Lowes, they didn't have anything so I ordered Silicon Bronze hardware via the Internet.

Everything else stayed cool, so that should take care of things.
