Don't skimp on cable either! Get some quality 50mm welding cable, luckily I got mine FREE :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Got the big crimp terminals from City Electrical Factors for a couple of quid.
Bung a big 500amp fuse near the battery and a Isolator switch near the driver seat.

Never skimp on cheap cable, great bit of advice from supergaz. I skimped on cable when I did my complete rebuild of my kit car and I will NEVER do it again. Biggest thing I learnt from that project was that cable isn't an area of a budget that can be skimped on.
