<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the number of orig good cables I would guess are still out there why not go with that? Merely replace the attachments if necessary.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Yep, my BJ8 still has the original cable, it's fine. Just need to make sure the battery clamp is kept clean every couple of years. the downside is the boot over the solenoid terminal is rock hard now..... hard to remove!

<div class="yiv6265931123MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am about to make up a long battery cable ( rear battery to solenoid ). It's a long run and I only want to do this once in the best way possible. I appeal to the wisdom of the list for tips and suggestions. I have heard that heavier gauge welding cable is the trick..what about end connectors clamp or solder on? I'm not worried about a factory original look.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
