Oem style battery cables
I need to buy new battery cables for my 1994 Ford Ranger 2.3L
I called the dealer and they want a WHOPPING $141.00 just for the positive cable! Does anyone know of a site or a number I can call to get a much cheaper price......and BTW the cables the dipsticks sells at parts stores will not work!
TIA
Rick

I've used these folks before and they seemed OK to me:

Don't use the "clamp on the cable" typ of setup if you build your own cables. You are just asking for trouble.
When I built my own for my tractor I converted to a marine type setup with wingnuts holding big ring terminals to the clamps. The ring terminals are soldered to the cable as I don't have a crimper that big.

yeah, go to an auto electric alternator/starter etc. rebuild shop and get a set of welding cables made up with the better clamps; use mil spec batty clamps like these:
