I bought mine at O'Reilly's.

Looking for an original not at O-O-O’Reilly’s

The 14" braided style one I bought at O'Reilly's was/is exactly like an original.

Maybe you don't think I know the difference?

Some people need to have the name attached, and are willing to pay extra for it regardless of wire condition. Oh crap, just realized this is classifieds. Sorry for commenting. Good luck with search.

It's funny, there was a guy here a few years ago selling "original factory ground straps."

They were the same ones from O'Reilly's and I called him out on it. They ARE identical to the factory ones.

He stopped selling them after that.

A picture IS worth a thousand words.

Not my FS add, but the later (>73) were different than the 73 and earlier flat braid:

Ok,
I'm interested now. The lower one is obviously the battery cable, the upper should be the transmission ground strap. Never seen the ground strap used as the battery cable, at least on a factory installation

My 72 is pretty bone stock and it has a ground cable, but looks like at some point earlier than my 72 it used a ground strap? just asking.

Here are links to pictures of a 1970 1.7L and a 914/6 engine bay from the O & H sub-forum:

Also, my '72 1.7L (VIN 4722910834) that I purchased from the original owner in 1977, had a flat braided negative battery strap,

'70-'73: p/n 914 611 903 10, flat braid
'74-'76: p/n 914 611 904 11, cable

Great conversation guys! Does anyone have an original battery ground cable for a late 914 though?

I should have a used one. Let me look in the morning.

Thanks bud, just email me if you do...

The cable is the same on my ‘74. Mark, if you’re thinking about making these I would gladly purchase one from you.

Here is your battery cable $24 shipped.

Payment sent, thanks bud. You have really nice parts. I will be looking in the future for any late model 914 stuff.
