    You can also get it form Home Depot, Lowes, etc. for less than racing supply places.

    Welding supply place is the best.   The cable is cheaper and is super flexy so you can work with it easily.     

    None of the stuff I have seen at the "Home Labyrinth" stores comes even close.  Way too stiff.

      Go with as heavy cable as you can afford, at least twice as thick as the original due to the length and you will have less current drop when cranking. If you put the negative lead to the body, make sure that it has a good connection. And at the engine end make sure that the negative between the body and motor has good connections as well, that way you won't have to but 2 full lengths only one.   :2thumbs:   :bigsmile:
