Does anyone have a source for the original style woven battery ground cable? I would like to keep the original look if possible.

Thanks -

Looks like I found some by deleting "Porsche" from my online search.

Is #2 gauge acceptable for our cars?

I picked up a similar one at my FLAPS a few years ago.

I got one at a VW shop but I had searched online, for braided grounding strap.. they are all over.

"73 1.7. 99.9 % stock. Battery ground strap is an insulated cable. It is not a woven flat bare copper number. Is this incorrect?

...Same here!

Me too, 73 2.0 - insulated round cable

bare braided ground cable sounds like the transmission grounding strap

I got mine from NAPA, but it looks slightly narrower than stock.

Yep - they look almost identical, less the battery terminal end on the battery cable.

see #7 on the PET below.

I've got a nice O.E. braided strap I'd set aside somewhere
