[OT] - ish. Need small box with two bus-bars

I have 12 hefty (24 Volt, low voltage) cables running from the
garage, one to each window location, distributing the power for
electric curtains and blinds.

At the moment, the cables end up in one of the Comfort cabinets,
each one terminated on a 5 Amp chocolate block.  The "other
sides"
of the chocolate blocks are then commoned together.  This has worked
well up until now.  I have just put in the last two blinds, so have
had to add another four wires linking the chocolate blocks together.

It looks horrible and I suspect that, over time, some of the
connections will work loose.

I think the solution is another small box with two busbar type
arrangements (ideally with each wire having a separate connection to
avoid multiple wires under the same screw). Alternatively, if I
could find a way to insulate the mounting, the two busbars could
just replace the chocolate blocks inside the Comfort cabinet.

If anyone is still following this (sorry, long post!!) I'd welcome
any pointers to suitable kit.

Thanks,  Nick.
