Default Battery Cable Kits?

So seeing how I have been out of the 944 game for so many years, where can I get a battery cable kit? (the Blue 951 needs a new battery to block ground in a bad way).

I had a random no start condition on the new car, and had thought it was the starter, but after putting a new (used) one in tonight the car still wouldn't turn over. After looking at the ground wire behind the intake I found the wire exposed and oxidation forming. After cleaning the wire the car started easily, so now the hunt for a new ground wire begins but my normal internet searches has yielded nothing.

I'm using John's battery cables. Quite a professional job I must say, and the most helpful guy. You can't go wrong.

+1 for the JoKa cables. They will probably out live you.

Don't think there is a kit but all the parts/supplies are readily available. All the RHD 924/44/68's had them located there, LH wheel well.

All parts available from Waytech (no affiliation).

I though so John, I have their catalog but haven't ordered anything. Plus I am sure you have all the correct tools which are a major part of the cost of making these kits. Keep up the good work

I'm incredibly happy with this kit. It fixed electrical issues that I didn't even know I had, until things started working better after the install.

There are a number of places to get the cables custom made at a pretty reasonable price...
