Custom Battery Cable Install
Finished the install of the custom cables I've been working on. Very happy with the overall appearance and they've cured all kinds of running issues, some of which I knew about and some of which have been with the car since I bought her. Installing the terminals for the CEB power tie in took a bit of time but managed to use OEM studs. I'll let the pictures speak for the rest.

Maybe... 
The grounds are 0/1, the battery-starter line is 0/1 and the alternator to starter line is 1. Picked up the wire from a industrial supplier and built the harness along with a fellow RL'er.
Considerably more flexible than what Iceshark/Robby use. You can literally tie the 0/1 wire into a knot.
Took about an hour and a half, most of the difficulty was getting the old/new cables around my adjustable FPR on the firewall. I've got a quest alternator so the wiring there was VERY easy.
I had to remove my intercooler charge pipe to be able to get my fat hands down to the alternator but that's a 2 minute job. Looking back, I'd pull the starter to get more room to maneuver but I don't think it's 100% necessary.

Aaron, I am in love with your car, and with these cables... for more reasons than just the obvious!
FWIW, isn't that a complete assembled starter / alternator harness? It appears to be using the factory connector at the firewall to tie into the factory wiring...
