They do a 10M reel for £56. Might get the 40mm stuff for the earth.



Niall I know not to use amp cable as often its not copper and it tends to be many strands in the cable whereas proper cable has only a few strands of copper

Do you think 240 amp cable would be ok considering our batterys are ~ 540?

Thats only 540 CCA. That cable will be rated at 240 constant draw where as the battery will only pump out 540 CCA for a very brief period. I wouldnt see it as a problem. The current wiring wont be rated at 540
