MRG1965 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Hi all, silly question time. I'm looking to replace the positive battery leads (battery -solonoid-starter.). Can any body confirm what the size I need to get is, cross section or amp rating? I have the latter type bolt on ring gear and lucas starter 25521D not bomb type.

Pete Hi Pete, yes went to Halfords this afternoon and what they had looked very thin, much too thin, I think modern vehicles use much less amperage. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MRG1965 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 HI all, so I've found the info I was looking for. Inertia starter takes 450Amps locked and 260Amps cranking, so based on the fact that if its locked I'm not going to be turning the key for more that a second or two, a 300amp cable should be exactly what I need to go off to the shops.
