    Outstanding, Tony!! Kudos on a really nicely done job! I recall Maurice recently saying that they were having some issues sourcing large gauge cabling... I will need to check on what they are using these days.

    Thanks Paul.
    I got those cables on Amazon. It was 25' of red and 25' of black. They were sold together. And the cable ends, shrink wrap and tool also came from Amazon. The 2/0 battery terminal connectors came from Summit Racing

    What is the parts/tool cost? Will you use the tool in the future, or is it a one-time situation?

    The tool is 45 bucks and I will use it on future projects. 50' of 2/0 wire 185 cable ends and battery terminals 40 bucks. Larger cable clamps from a 52piece assorted kit 18 bucks

    I used 11' of red cable and 3.5' of black cable. 6 cable ends out of 8. 8 5/8" cable clamps and the 2 battery terminals.
