Additional ground cable
I would like to add an additional ground cable from the frame to one of the transmission bolts - do any of the vendors sell a suitable cable with a bolt connector at each end, rather than one end with a battery post connector ?
Thanks - Jim |

Re: Additional ground cable
NAPA or any auto parts store should be able to help you.
about as thick as the one that goes to your starter and measure before you go.

Re: Additional ground cable
"Custom" good quality battery and ground cables are available in any length or gauge desired with different ring terminal sizes, for not much money. I get them from a guy on eBay.

TSC usually has them. The bigger the better.

Re: Additional ground cable
Marine supply houses have the cable and the connectors to swedge onto the cables. They allow you to use the swedging machine at the store. The marine cables are better quality than the usual automotive cables. Marine wires are tin plated that stops corrosion and there are more wires of small gauge in a cable to make it more flexible.

Re: Additional ground cable
I always have mine fabricated at a welding shop. Quick, easy and very reasonable!
