Look at some late model 12 volt cables and they are really thin compared to the 6 volt cables. I'm looking at a '47 Dodge right now and thinking of putting an 8 volt tractor battery in it and adjust the generator to 9 volts. That won't blow the lights but will really crank the starter.
If I were to make a wire to a late model fuse station, I'd probably go up one or two gauges. |

If you look up some battery terminals used for car stereo you can get any thing you would need.

Those are nice! I had no idea there was such a thing. Thanks for posting.
Over the years, I've gotten several vehicles where someone put a "system" in it. I try to avoid that as they tend to butcher the wires. On the other hand, I've salvage some high end hardware. Super heavy duty with gold plated connections. Almost NO amperage loss from end to end of a power line. |
