Default positive battery cable

Awhile back the terminal on my positive battery cable basically corroded away.

I cut the end off, and put one of the temporary bolt on terminals on. I can now see corrosion making it's way down the cable.

I'd like to replace the whole cable, but I can't seem find it at the online parts dealers. Unfortunately it's not a simple cable that goes to the starter, it splits a few places.

Has anyone replaced theirs, or can find the part # I need? Thanks

SOB! That's expensive. Did they really have to over complicate a damn battery cable?

Depending on your electrical comfort, I'm sure you can get some suitable cable and splice it in.

Places that do audio installation may sell you a piece that size. Otherwise you're gonna ave to get a spool of wire.

FYI: Buying jumper cables the same diameter is sometimes cheaper than buying a whole spool of cable that size.

You don't have to buy a whole spool, many places sell it by the foot. Have done it many, many times.

This.
I'll probably put one together.

What's your '67 Chevelle look like?

I recently built a '66 Chevelle.
