Hi,
Having now sorted out the floor mounted starter on my Ulsteroid and also added a battery isolator switch I need to get some battery leads made up.
I'm planning to run an earth lead from the battery's negative post to the isolator switch (which is mounted on the passenger seat front support) and then from this switch to both a bolt through the floor adjacent to the battery and also, via a second lead, to one of the starter motor mounting bolts.
On the positive side there will just be a lead from the battery to the starter button and then from the button to the starter motor.
On e-bay a supplier can make up any length of lead using a variety of cable sizes from 16 mm² up to 95 mm² but which should I choose? I'm assuming that a larger size will help reduce voltage drop but larger is also more expensive and presumably more difficult to run neatly.
Any advice,
John.
