Hi.
From reading through the Mainline, I cannot see a reason the anodized screws(on the topside visible ones, not washers, nuts or that sort)  I am planning to use should cause grounding issues.

Anyone thinking the contrary?

You can double check with your meter to see if there is any issue with them.  (Measure resistance between the #8 grounding screw and the center lugs of each 5-lug strip and the shield grounding solder tabs)

For mounting the terminal strips, I would put an extra lockwasher between each terminal strip and the chassis to aide in conduction.
