Battery cables
Hey gang. I pulled my battery cables off this past weekend. A friend has the supplies to build me up new ones. The positive cable is quite a bit larger from the passenger side terminal to the starter. My question is does it have to be this way or can it be the size as from the drivers side cable?

If you can take some pictures and let us see what kind of end are on them that would be great.

Will do. I dropped them off yesterday, he built them today. I won't pick them up until Saturday but when I do I'll post up some pictures.

Here's a few pics. I didn't get one of the whole positive cable. They're crimped soldered and have the heat shrink that has the glue inside.
And to address my original question the cable from passenger side down to the starter is huge. He built them exactly like the stock cables, just with better material.

I also replaced my wonderful reman lifetime starter from the Irish store... For the third time in a year. I think I may have a keeper this time though. It spins it over faster than either of the other two. It actually spins faster than it ever has before. But I told my wife this is the last one I put on. If this starter slows down I'm putting a Denso on it.

It actually spins as fast as the Denso in the video floating around. I may get a vid tomorrow and show.
And to address a related issue I just ordered a Stancor gpr.
