Aircraft Spruce will sell a 2-gage cable by the foot at something less than $1 an inch (ouch). But I would like to have something heavier than that and Alpha makes cable in either 3-gage or 0/2, which is what I would prefer. Unfortunately, the only way I can find it is by the 100-foot reel. Anyone know of a way to buy this stuff in shorter lengths? Or do you think the 0/2-gage is an overkill? I will be cranking an IO-540 in my plastic airplane.

Arc welders use a lot of heavy gauge cable in various sizes with different covering types, etc. and there should be a cost-effective solution to be found there.

The insulation comes off without too much trouble if you want to run a bare cable. Regards, Eric M.

That is where I got mine. I had to assemble it by putting ends on it.

Haven't seen any traffic on the 'list' for some time. Thought I'd post a test message to see if I'm still on the list.
