Big is GUD.....I use 0 gauge on my hand built Speedster and the 6volt 356 I just re did. They were BOTH getting hot when cranking using the kit supplied cables.
The electric cars guys use welding cable and then crimp there own lugs and connectors. There is a special tool that cuts cable like butter. Just don't use on anything else....destroys the tool. |
