On a related note: If your are not concerned with using "correct"
battery cables I can highly recommend the custom cables from
Diamondback Cables. I first saw them at VTR 2001 and ordered a set
for Casper (57 TR3) they are exceptional in their construction, very
heavy gauge and custom fit to the application. My set cost only
$75.00. I was so impressed that I had them make up a custom set for
my Disabled neighbors golf cart, which dramatically improved the
performance of the cart.
In my mind Casper starter turns faster and I am pleased with the look
even though it is not "correct"
