How to Bond this Fitting

The last time I relocated my service entrance, I connected my meter can to my main, outdoor cutoff box with a short 2 inch diameter ******, with electrical locknuts on the inside and outside of each box and the grounding bushing pictured on the right, below. The inspector thought I did a better job on all the work than what he usually sees by the licensed guys in town, especially with my bonding.

This time I am relocating my service entrance to my new garage and I thought about using these new water tight conduit fittings (on the left, below,) when I run the short ****** to connect my meter can to my main, outdoor shutoff. (Our utility company does not want me to use a combo meter/main box.)

Anyway, my question is how do I bond the fitting on the left? Should I put a bonding locknut under the inside portion first, or use a bonding wedge that I see illustrated in my NEC codebook (but which I can't seem to find anywhere,) or what?

Is it considered "self-bonding" maybe?

Thank you for your help.

i have never been dinged for a meyers hub as far as bonding goes. the lock nut on the hub has teeth that dig into the steel on the can so the bond is pretty good.

Thank you for your quick replies... just knowing that it is called a Myers hub is helpful. Apparently Myers does make one with a grounding lug, but I am not sure where I can get one yet.

These are made by T&B and are a model called Red Dot, which do not appear to have an option for a grounding lug.

Maybe I am overdoing it and for ease I should just go back to the rubberized lock nut with the grounding bushing, although my local inspector probably would not fuss over using it how it is based on your responses.

Thank you again.
