Re: What do ya'll think about these battery clamps?
Just got in from making the cables! My dad gave me a bit of help when it came to operating the big crimper: it's a bit awkward to use so an extra pair of hands comes in handy. I used glue-lined heat shrink and a heat gun. I'll get pics up tomorrow night.
Thanks for all the encouragement and advice, very easy to do and a lot of fun. |

I also use those without any issues.. As long as you are not going for a full classic factory style resto.. I say use them ..

Thanks man. Well the new battery cables are made and I hope to get those on tomorrow and put these clamps (and my 44 year old wiring) to the test.

Re: What do ya'll think about these battery clamps?
Hey! I'm 44.... Wait. Maybe my wiring is what's wrong!
Good to hear you got them built, thinking of a similar set up on my 67.

Re: What do ya'll think about these battery clamps?
Maybe already covered, but the big cables are for the starter. We can and should use the small leads to go to a junction block in one way or another. Hanging a lot of stuff off a battery terminal isn't pretty.
Have a look at >72 solutions to some other issues as well, that move the low current junction block closer to the driver. |

Did not use solder...figured that was "too much."
I'll try and get pics up tomorrow. |
