DIY - Battery Cables

[Catbox]

I have built these cables for all of the cars in my driveway as well as sets for friends.
This will be a lot of photos, but it saves me from having to type all this stuff out once again...

I have run a set of these very cables on my VW for the last 9 years of daily driving...

I had them on hand from the store.
I simply do not like how big they are.
They are quite long as well as the hole in them was far to large for what I was doing.
Plus I had all the stuff on hand to make them the size I wanted.

Here is the comparison photo.
store bought on the outsides and mine in the middle.
I would have been using the one on the far right due to the cable size I am using.
The lug I am attaching to is a 6mm lug.

Satisfying to make your own parts, even if you can buy them.
You can come up here for a work vacation anytime, and rewire my truck!
