I finished wiring my headlights so now it’s time for the battery. I had some cable lying around that looked about right all I needed were a few more supplies. Picked up some lugs, adhesive lined shrink tube, braided sleeving, and battery terminals.
I borrowed a cheap crimper that’s made to be used with a hammer but it worked quite well in my ball joint press. After crimping the ends they were soldered to completely seal the connection. Braided sleeving and heat shrink was applied, it added some abrasion resistance and helped to distinguish the cable. I ran out of ½ lugs but so far I like how it turning out.
