Default battery cable kit, iceshark alternative?

I’m looking for something along the lines of the “iceshark” battery cable kit, but seeing as he is no longer with us, the only option I see are either factory kits from Lindsey or the mil-spec negative kit on eBay, and then making my own positive cable and then buying the Lindsay factory starter to alt. harness…. Does anyone have any leads to an “iceshark” or similar kit available now....Also how long is that positive cable to the starter, 5ft? I cant find a spec. Thanks!!!

I have the measurements at home, and can give them to you..

I also have ample supply of 1/0 cables, crimp ends, and such....

I only have ONE starter harness connector left, but have been refabricating the alternator to starter harness re-cycling the firewall connector and 1 gauge alternator to starter lead...

John, with all that spare time why don't you make a limited production run of your kits? They definitely are nice looking.

ICE SHARK....NIGHT AND DAY. Let me know if you want any pictures or help. Robby also made me a battery relocation kit.

AFAIK, JoKA is the only one who has SAE J1127 cable rated for automotive use.

wow, thanks for all the help guys! This community is great and always fast to reply. I'll exploring my options and hopefully land on something quality and easy...The WA sun has gone away for now and I need to take advantage of the rain (dont hear that often around here)!

Robby made two sets for me, one for each car, including lights and euro fog conversions. They are top notch! He even has the fancy bulbs.

Does Robby still make the battery cable set? I PM'd and emailed him a couple of days ago, but no reply. Is there any alternative to the Porsche set?

He does - he built mine for me a couple months ago. He's probably just busy, as he's pretty responsive to PMs and emails.
