Breaker Box Has No Ground Connection
I'm running power to a separate building. I ran four number eights (2 blacks, white and green) in conduit. I look at other panels and see where people have connected the ground (green) and the common (white) under the same lug or on the same rail. I searched around and see where no one seems to like this idea. Problem is I don't have a "ground" lug in this panel. Can I just buy a mechanical lug, fasten it to the box and then secure the ground wire there?

In a subpanel all the grounds are on a bar that is bonded to the box and all the neutrals are on a bar that is isolated from the box/ground.
