Live supply from battery to fuse box (diesel)

Post by lloydy »

I know it goes from the black box in engine bay to the fuse box, is it literally a spade connection onto the back of the fuse box? Also does anyone know the size of the cable? It's a 1990 model.
Thanks

Thank you, is it just a normal spade size like 6.3mm that can take a 6mm cable?
