| Post subject: | 2 Gauge Wire |
I am steadily reconnecting the wiring in the Ghia and after looking at the schematic for the positive battery feed to the starter, it states the line is a 35,0 (mm^2) which is close to a 2ga (AWG). The auto parts stores have only 4 gauge wires. Is it necessary to run a 2 gauge wire? If so, where is the best place to locate one locally that is already assembled. I could go to the local welding supply house and 'make' one, but I thought 8 would check first. |

Did you try Lowes or Home Depot. They sell by the foot ... they might have it. |

I wouldnt worry about exact size as much as making sure you use good cables |

I used 2g on mine, bought it from a car audio store, I even had them crimp the ends on. |

use a positive lead from auto zone...every other car on the road uses one...they come in any length you need with the ends already on them... |
