I need to replace my + battery cable. It has a threaded lug on the terminal that holds some smaller wires. Haven't been able to find a cable with this feature so I need some advice on the best way to handle these connections. What are my options?

WE have the correct one, either just the terminal end or the complete wire down to the starter with the end on it.

I emailed through your online catalog last fall and was told that the cable AA sold did not have the lug as shown in the picture. Is that true? or, is the picture I posted not a correct part?

No not the lug like that but the original German crimp on end with the exact same cinching bolt and the extra red wires attach under the nut, OR the collar of the cable end can be tapped. The problem with the ends out there is that they are a clamp on rather than a crimp on and look LIKE HELL when installed. This one does not.
