Okay my ADC motor uses 3/8" studs so I will need lugs with 3/8" holes -- never mind I will just drill yours out.

Here's the fuzzy part (but I'll sound assertive. Feel free to tell me to do something else):
3 cables will come out of the controller, and will all need to be connected to battery pack plus (maybe connect all 3 of them to a big fat 4/0 cable that runs to the battery pack plus). The lugs will protrude around 3-4 inches past the end cap, so I can use metal end caps with cable glands.

Please make my B+ leads 20" long. I will trim and add lugs as required.

I am assuming that all cables come out one end of the controller, is that true?
It would be helpful if they did, but not essential.
