any ideas on were i can find some batt. cables that are of a decent size,i have been to kragens,auto zone,napa,they all carry the tinyest cables,looking for something a little bigger than the stock tiny replacement cables the parts stores carry,someones got to know were to get some decent batt. cables
thanks don

Don, most part stores (Kragens, AutoZone etc) that are "computer only" style stores may have difficulty looking up a cable... but ANY NAPA or std style "Jobber" store should be able to look in a catalog, look up the listing for your car, see the lengths needed and then supply you with a larger sized cable... if you know the lengths i'd say to just ask for that cable... a 1 guage is probably as big as you'll be able to get... sizes in length aren't as numerous as, say, a 4 guage but larger cables are available... if needed a longer cable could be shortened and a new eyelug soldered to the end...


hope i helped ;)

I bought 00 gauge multistrand copper wire in red and black and used three sets of Taylor Brass 2 Ga. battery eyelet terminals (part number 21409 that used to sell for $17.39 a pair) from my local Interstate Battery company. Mounted battery in the trunk and used Moroso cut off switch (300 Amp continuous) to meet NHRA safety code.

I used some 1/0 gauge wire from True Value and at one end, used a 3/8" end cap for the remote mounted starter selenoid and used the other end for the custom battery terminals I purchased off of E-_ay. I thought I had some pics to show you so tomorrow I'll take a couple to show you what I am talking about..

Also most local audio shops carry a wide verity of wire sizes and the wire should be able to handle what you need it for. A lot of it is use to power amps and such.
