Default Breaker Panel Mess

I am thinking of
running all to terminal strips behind the panel and then run new,
appropriate length, wire from the terminal strips to the panel.

Am I looking at any current loss problems with such an arrangement?
Any other ideas as to how to reorganize the panel?


===========================================

My old Bertram was wired up that way right from the factory and it
worked fine. Use nothing but high quality tinned wire, ring
terminals, and corrosion resistant terminal strips. Ideally every
connection to a ring terninal should be sealed with heat shrink
tubing. Bundle the wires coming from the terminal strips to the panel
so that they all "hinge" in the same place.
