Hello All
Some 'Electrickery' advice please... I am looking to source some Pre-made 'Battery Power Cables' for a 'modification' I have done this before sourcing... Car Battery Power Cable / Starting Motor Lead X1 Pre-made 12'' (305mm) Red Insulation Covered Multi-Copper Strand / 50mm2 / 345 Amp Cable supplied with Crimped Spade End Terminals / 8mm holes. X1 (as above) but at 18'' (460mm) First Question... Has anyone sourced something similar and can recommend a (potential) good Supplier... 
(my original source appears to not be trading now...) Second Question... Can someone confirm the Specification (Rating Value) of OEM Battery to Starter Cable...

Thank you jpboost
It looks like there's routes through Amazon / E-Bay also. A good on-line source / experience would be good to hear... SKIP https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic83242.html |

Thank you All
I would still be interested to know (if someone knows) what the Battery to Starter Motor Lead Specification is...

I can see the appeal of getting something made up and there are companies on eBay that can do so. I'd strongly recommend buying a hydraulic crimping tool and doing it yourself, though. I bought one for around £20 when I built my split charge system and found it very easy to do, with a professional looking finish.

Happy to make you something up if you wanted?
Think I have all the terminals but would have to get the cable. Cheers, Steve 02' 110 TD5 Double Cab Rebuild Thread |

Gentlemen...
LRA If this was a regular thing (or even occasional) I need little encouragement 
to buy another tool for the workshop... minimal money really, installing a split charge set up would easily qualify... What would also add to the 'make-it-up-yourself' argument... is that in my world I would want every wiring loom / cable 10% longer than supplied, so 'better to work with' / cable management would win out. I'm fairly sure that what i've done on my 90 with a Security Layer, that has worked faultlessly now for 8 years and is used every time the engine is switched off, I'm going to repeat on our 'new' 110 So thank you once again for your help and the kind offer rallysteve I'll source on-line this time.
