Engine battery ground cable

[Hisham Amaral]

Gregory, and Mike

Thank you for the feed back, I visited our battery shoptheir idea is to selling parts that are in their inventory. they do not make up new cables. I would like to replace the cable with like kind and quality.I guess I will keep looking in the Detroit area for a shop that can make a quality cable.

Thanks,

Hisham, I agree with Mike. If it is a battery cable??? You may want
to find a shop that solders the ends if you are in a wet climate.
Many Welding supply outlets and Battery/solar specialty shops make
up battery cables. Our Napa does a poor job with the press on ends.
When I use press on ends, I fill the space up with regular solder.

Look for the reason it failed. if it is too taught, check the
motormounts tranny mounts etc......

If it is a ground strap from frame to engine, you can use insulated
cable. Best place would be a welder repair shop for no post cables .
I never understood why many OEM's use bare braded cable for the
ground?????
