My question is.... what is the best cable type for this purpose as I know there are a number of different grades of cable depending on the distance traveled etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then run your positive cable from the battery to the starter motor, leave the cable on that goes from the starter motor to the fuse box. And with the negative just find a sutiable earth, it would be alot neater then running cables across the bay and less cable. I would use 35mm cable.
