Re: What wire
Hi Paul,
If you have an old-school motor factors near you, they might be able to supply some cable of the correct size.
Alternatively, just search on Google for battery cable, after a quick search I found this supplier:
https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product_list/124
It should be quite easy to measure the required size, as it states here, the last number in the cable size is the diameter of the entire cable, including the insulation:
https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/ ... tegory/124
That should make it easy to buy the correct one.
It might be more of a struggle to find a new connector for flat battery terminals though. A change to a round post terminal set-up might be on the cards.

Re: What wire
I might have one here that will do. Can you measure how long the cable needs to be ?
Reason Im asking is I have a battery to starter motor lead that came with a Pinto engine I bought years ago to rebuild. Its around somewhere in a box of odd wires and i can dig it out if suitable . I know it was out of a Sierra, cant tell you which model other than it was something that had an injected 2.0 Pinto. There is a length of flexible conduit around it that provides a bit more protection against rubbing against hoses and cables.
