OK I got a 25mm square section 1 Meter long. The original is a shade shorter than this 95cm probably but the little bit extra gives you routing possibilities, any longer it would cost more and start rubbing against things. I secured against the top of the battery tray where there is a hole in the metal, I twisted a cable tie so it was in a figure 8 (to stop it rubbing against the metal edge. Then over the power steering pump and secured to the bundle of wires at the back of the engine bay. I Reused the rubber boot from the original cable 10mm ring connector crimped on by proper old school motor factors, and a standard battery post terminal Cost £12.95


These would have done it. Cable is ref 196
