Custom Built Batt Cable Phoenix AZ

Does anyone know of anyone in Phoenix Area that builds battery cables? If not in Phoenix anyone that would build and ship for good price's? These Motorcraft prices are a little high for a cable that lasted 100,000 and I am one of the first people that try to keep things with the manufacture parts.

Jake if money is an issue then just redo the cable ends yourself. Go with military grade battery terminals

and use a cramp tool to put new eyelets on the cable. Temco makes a nice one

@Baddogkuzz I wouldn't say that I don't have the money but what I will say is if there is a better way to go I would rather do that. A lot of guys make aftermarket parts out there that are better and cheaper so I just thought I would through it out there. @Skip I have never used them cables so not sure how good the quality is but they look like a little smaller gauge wire which means they may get hot and may not transfer power correctly putting load on the alternator. thanks for the input fellas
