BJ, Thanks for the kind words. I really hope all is well with your wife. We've been keeping you both in our prayers. Don't get any heavier gauge wire than the 2-ga as that is a heavy enough cable. Both custom cables with shipping was $75. I got them both in black like the originals. The side terminal connection bolts to the battery are a bit different from the factory design. It is a threaded stud with an Allen wrench recess in the end to tighten it in the battery connection, then you screw on a 9/16" nut with shoulder...which is a superior design. You have to look at it hard to see that it isn't quite the factory connection, but I wasn't worried about that since my car is a driver, not a concourse nut & bolt restoration.
