Make your own. You can get whatever clamp you want and put on some good quality wire. I would make the wire one gauge larger than you think you actually need IMO.

Mine mounts on the front of the intake. If you look at the picture in the link you MIGHT be able to see it under the upper radiator hose.link I ain't at home or I would measure and take another picture of it for you. BTW you can get red cable, cuz I got some at the house somewhere.

Of all my favorite things to do, The utmost is to have a brew.
My love grows for my foamy friend, with each thirst-quenching elbow bend.
Beer so frosty, smooth, and cold it's paradise pure liquid gold.
Yes beer means many things to me that's all for now cus I gotta pee.
