I don't know the size, but in the past I have bought welding cable from a welding supply to make my own battery cables. worked good. The better the cable the better the engine will spin over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I borrowed a hydraulic crimper to put the ends on. I slid some heat shrink on before crimping. They look factory made but are much better |
