 GEC's On EGC Bars - Not Service Neutral Bar

I believe that the applicable article is 250.24(A)(4). As I read it, you're not supposed to rely on the screw as a bonding jumper in this case. You'd need a properly sized wire between the neutral terminal bar and the equipment grounding bar.
Alternatively, you could run the GEC right to the neutral bar with an appropriate accessory lug.

GEC's On EGC Bars - Not Service Neutral Bar

Thanks Jim.
Would it suffice to have just one of these GEC's connected to the neutral terminal bar on an appropriate lug (one is present) or with an appropriate sized wire, or would both of these be required to be terminated on this bar?

The GECs should have been terminated next to the grounded service conductor at the top center of the load center. Lug screws are provided there.
