Craig-
I bought raw two color welding cable from a local electrical supply
house, crimped the ends (Purchased from Advance Auto) using my NicoPress
tool, soldered the gaps and slid a neoprene boot (ACS) over each end.
Sounds like a lot of work but it was actually one of the easiest jobs
I've had.

Subject: Zenith-List: Source for battery cable?
I'm looking for a source for 4 gauge battery cable (red and black). I
could use welding cable. B&C appears to only sell pre-made, terminated
lengths. WayTek has a minimum of 100 ft. SteinAir doesn't list any. Many
list 4 gauge Tefzel but that isn't what I want. I could buy a pair of
jumper cables but I'm not certain on the quality and composition of the
insulation.
Any leads?

Ben you need to read before flaming GEEZ I said steam (from the hot
engine) could cause the coils to stop working. I never said high voltage causes
steam but since they are a higher voltage the are more sensitive to
moisture. Sorry I didn't clarify it in a way you would understand.
And if anyone has a warp drive without the nickel edges I wouldn't fly
thru rain as it will eat the tips up pretty fast.

I fly my Zenith 801 with a auto engine conversion through rain every time I
can I love flying in it, makes for a smooth flight. It is a perfect way to
wash it, to remove all the bugs and the rain is soft water so NO water
spots !!
I do have a very tight ignition system to prevent any moisture from getting
into critical areas and I have flown through rain that was pretty darn
heavy. YMMV............ As for the idea of high voltage creating
steam,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Geez

Larry,
I wouldn't fly any automotive type engine thru moisture as it will produce
steam and that might cause your coils to stop working. The difference (as
you are probably aware of) between a auto conversion and an aircraft engine
is that the spark voltage is much higher in an auto type ignition.

Hi Guys,
I fly mostly good weather, but theres been a few times Ive had to fly
thru light showers to get home. The greater concern is getting into too
much rain. Id think this was possible, but a few of our Chapter 75 have
flown in a car wash type rain that put them on the gages for a few
minutes. Does anyone know the limits of the ignition system wires and
spark plugs? I fly the Stratus Subaru in my 601 and am just now looking
at my plugs and wires and wondering if theres much difference between
wet aircraft plugs and mine. Anyone knowledgeable?

Thanks for all the feedback on battery cables. For various reasons (like
working in California and flying home to Utah where the plane is on some
weekends) it was best to order on-line. I found a source of welding cable
with a reasonable minimum length and good price: www.delcity.net. I will be
crimping and soldering the lugs myself as I have the tools.
