[6pack] Negative battery cable?

[Alex & Janet Thomson]

Grant - I don't know of any reason why an insulated cable can't be used
other than asthetics. Just make sure to use the same gauge - I'm guessing
around a #2. I use 2-0 for all of my farm equipment. Also, be sure that the
body is well grounded to the engine block - all of the heater, light system
and other body related electrical items must pass their current through that
grounding system. Anybody who tells you "it's just a ground cable" is not
familiar with basic electrical fundamentals.

Hi List,

Aside from the issue of remaining true to vintage parts, is there any
problem with not using a braided negative ground battery cable in a TR6? I
want to replace my old negative cable and was going to just use a regular
one, rather than spending $25-30 for a braided one at Moss...

Thanks,
Grant Kester
