My battery cable that goes to the starter is getting pretty weathered (at the battery side). I've got some electrical tape wrapped around it now.

How long and what gauge is that cable? I assume i can pick one up at FLAPS?

I may be wrong but I thought Jeff Bowlsby (in San Ramon) makes replacements.

Your local auto parts place will have battery cables of various lengths with the battery terminal already on. It should be 4 guage or larger, and cost less than $12 bucks.

Great, anyone know the length it should be? Just don't want to get one too long even though that could be tied up I suppose.
