[Healeys] Battery cable

[Michael MacLean]

 I bought a ready made cable from Ahead4Healeys for my BN2 build.  Bought the solenoid to starter cable and the battery link for the two 6 volt batteries at the same time.  With shipping, it came out to 71 British Pounds.  A little expensive, but well made, soldered and to correct length.  Saved me from melting the connector trying to solder it to one end.  Easy peasy.

 I made my own cable 15 years ago and soldered the ends using a propane torch. Used a brass helmet connector on the battery end. I used a lot of Flux and  heated up both connectors filled with solder and pushed heated cable ends. Has worked great until I noticed that a p clip wore through the insulation!!!. Don't know how I did not short out my car?. I wrapped with electrical tape. Bought 4 gauge cable off of ebay and need to solder on new connectors.Check under your cars

In my experience the weak spot for battery cables is not the type of cable but the connectors. Our Healey’s use 4 Ga stranded and there are two common options. PVC insulated and rubber insulated. Automotive wire is the PVC insulated version and made to an SAE Standard. I would ignore all of this and buy a good quality premade cable from a known supplier that has all of the proper tools and equipment to properly crimp the end connections.

I know that originality was not a requirement insofar as Ray was concerned but I thought I would mention, for those interested, that Autosparks actually stock exact original specification battery cable
