Are the battery cables that Antique Auto Battery sell any good? I read some old information where people didn't like them but that was 10 years ago.

Looking for ones that look and function as close as possible to originals.

Thanks, Nick.

I ordered a set and it took nearly 4 weeks to arrive. They said they were short on some parts. At first the woman on phone wanted to sell just the cable section from Positive post to starter relay but I told her I wanted the entire full length to starter. Her book called for 41". They arrived and looked great but the positive cable was a few inches too long for my short wheelbase car so I took to a local battery store and had it shortened at no cost. I reused my original lead from relay to solenoid and purchased a nice fiberglass hi temp sleeve from a go-cart shop as the thermal protector. Also used fabric style electrical tape to reproduce the look from the factory. Pretty happy with them and saved $100 by doing it myself.

All told the cables were $24 negative. $48 positive. $25 sleeve. $10 tape.

What was the final length for the positive cable?  

Thanks

It's installed and would be hard to get an accurate measurement. I'm glad it was too long rather than too short.
