You should also be able find them from automation component distributors.

AWESOME

Now if someone would make a braid, with insulation..........

Why? It's for ground... not making fun, just curious if you have an alternative application.

Keeps the ground wire from gettin all gunked up i imagine. Protects it from the elements...??

good enough answer for me. not my $$

Well yeah, the insulation will keep it from corroding. You guys have seen those ground straps green and falling apart.

eh, I guess I get too much oil getting slung around my engine compartments

see it'd help keeping the oil out too

haha

The factory braided might be fine if they are saturated in oil, to prevent corrosion.

A braid has lower inductance (i.e. less ignition noise in your radio) for the same amount of copper and will flex better than battery cable - meaning longer life.


Sorry if nobody thought the picture was relevant. I didn't even dig one up with the valve covers, distributor or cold air intake installed.

J/K brother.and you should have.

Better insulation than the braided PVC one earlier and no braids. Not sure how well it would hold up in an engine compartment though. Its made by Parker though so it should stand up to it.
