    Where are you mounting the battery (Bonnet or boot)?

        Hi Malc

        Thanks for your reply. I intend placing it against the bulk head under the bonnet in the engine bay.

        Many thanks, Joe

          There are as always many options you pay your money and take your choice:-
          Ratings are for lengths of up to 3 mtrs multi core copper cable, a good source is a welding supply company welding cable is a very good conductor and is very flexible.
          10mm2 100amps, 16mm2 300amps, 25mm2 600 amps.
          quite frankly I would go for the 25mm2 for both live and earth leads from chassis to battery and chassis to engine / gear box.
          Hope this helps
