Accidently posted this in the build-up section.
Where can I get some decent battery cables (preferably locally)?
I want to replace the substandard cables that came stock on my heep with something a little better. I am looking for 1 ga. cables with decent ends already attached.

Use welding cable, finer strands , conducts better and is far more flexible, hammer on a lug on one end and add quality terminal connections.
PM me how long you need them I may have some cut offs end or the roll stuff.

was looking to to do a dual batt setup in my XJ and this was the best way to run cable from the front to the back. Your kaleco sparkplugs will definately benefit from the upgraded cable ..... ;)
In all seriousness tho, welding cable is probably the way to go from what i have read :)

Tesco I think is the name of the company where I get cable. They are over by princess auto north. Ask for Brandy, and tell her I sent you. Just order up what you want and she will have it cut and waiting for you.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I do have some welding cable kicking around from my last heep so I may just pick up some ends and up make my own.

Oh, I thought you meant you needed cable. Yeah, tesco is just a wire distributer.
