| Anyone have a set kicking around that are good? Parts store replacements aren't much, but I'd rather give some money to one of you guys. I need both, complete, with no cuts.

| I'm completely fine with stock cables. One of those things that just works, and I don't have a need for "luxury" cables. Used stock will do fine. | |

| FYI - Factory cables are obsolete! Announcement came last year from RMS. Aftermarket is the only way you can go, unless someone has NIB cables! | |

| Man, I threw out my stock battery cables after I bought replacements from Innovative Wiring. They were in good shape, too. I didn't think anyone would ever want them. | |

| I got a mint set from someone on the ISSF. One step closer. I guess I should start a project thread. Anyone interested in a complete build (engine/trans swap, and body) on a 95 WB4 black/red RMW? lol | |

[Sorry for mild thread jack] Been making my own for over 40 years. That way you can use the higher gauge cables. All the bits are usually available at your NAPA store including pre-soldered ends. Use a small hand torch and fill the ends with solder first, "tin your cable ends then remelt the solder in the ends while inserting the wire. When its all together and the solder has set (takes longer than normal wire) slightly crush the ends with a vice or pliers. Paint the ends with liquid electric tape and your done. All the ends, including the battery ends are available and cable is available in various gauges. Not rocket science and the finished product is way better than stock. Just takes some patience.
