starter cable really thick really corroded

[trex100]

sorry if this has been asked before but I couldnt see it in the title of all the posts

does anybody kow where I can get a replacement starter cable from as the one I have on my bus is corroded to the extreme at the starter end , A known fault apparently

I have got a 35 mm 2 cable but its about half the size

looks like I need a 70 mm 2

also can the old cable be removed some how with removing the fuel tank t25 1986 1.9 dg fuel tank under drivers seat

I know I can replace the end at the starter but the cable is very stiff for about 12-18 down its length so corrosion has got down the sleive

I would like to get a cable already made up if possible....

thanks in advance

Any auto-electrician will be able to sort you out ... I don't think the starter cable goes near the fuel tank, across to the chassic rail maybe but not the tank.

Good find......

Now the only issue is getting the end terminals made up to a high enough quality to pass 180 - 200amps current without too much resistance.

thanks for the links and the advice guys have run a length of 50mm will see how it gets on have hydraulic crimped an m8 50mm lug and 50mm battery terminal so should be OK on amperage and impedance
