Guys, I bought reproduction 12v battery cables, with original style terminals, for my Dodge. I am sure they have 6 volt cables also. I suggest one inch longer than original to allow for different locations of terminals on modern batteries. They also have reproduction batteries that look like the originals.

Make sure that the cables, both pos and neg are the heavier 6v cables, it solves a lot of problems, and many a "dead" starter my friends bring me work just fine with the right cable. Jim |
