It came to us with an aftermarket cable in 1985, and it always bugged me greatly. I sent them pictures of the Mk I cable, along with the length. I was looking for a new braided cable. Told them about the raised letter “N” on battery connector/terminal, and said it would be cool if they could duplicate that, but it wasn’t all that important. <br class=""><br class="">When they came up with a terminal with the raised letter “N,” I asked them about a positive terminal as well. The positive terminal on our Mk I succumbed to the corrosion worm years ago. They came up with a terminal with the raised letter “P” as well. <br class=""><br class="">They do a very brisk commercial business, but look at little stuff like ours as a welcome relief from the day-in/day-out drudgery of filling orders for hundreds of same/same cables. If you are not too impatient, they will help you out.<br class=""><br class="">I bought a complete negative/ground cable for the Mk II and a positive connector for the Mk I. Had to buy a really-really BIG soldering iron to attach the positive connector to the Mk I cable, but it worked out well. They’ll build a complete cable for you—any length--if that’s what you want/need.<br class=""><br class="">Ramon<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">On Nov 11, 2021, at 11:00 AM, tigers-request@autox.team.net wrote:<br class=""><br class="">You might possibly TIG Braze a raised P onto the stamped P clamp.<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class=""><br class="">tigers@autox.team.net<br class=""><br class="">Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br class="">Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/tigers http://autox.team.net/archive<br class=""><br class="">Unsubscribe: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/tigers/rfraser@bluefrog.com<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""></div></div></div><br class="">
