Default Where to find engine ground strap?

Looking for one of those braided metal ground straps for the Scout. Impending winter weather has me nervous about some electrical issues I've been having with it...

Checked autozone yesterday - no luck. What about using some heavy-gauge wire? Like 8 gauge power wire maybe?


Pat, who hopes the snow will hold off long enough to get the Integra home

Check for some type of battery/starter cable w/ connectors on the ends!?

I think I've got a buyer coming for the 323 GTX tonight.
Hope you guys don't get "Buffalo" style snow!
... because it's on it's way up here next!

Ed - Still wish I could have bought that car from you

Looked at battery connectors, but could not find one with the proper connectors. The starter cables had the proper connectors, but were all 40+ inches long

8 gauge power wire it is!

How about a heavier guage wire, like a '4', rather than an '8'?

Heck,my jumper cables are '4' guage! Life in the Frozen White North!
