Craig -
Find a store dealing with selling welding equipment and supplies. They
have everything you need. Welding cable is more flexible but can carry
the load easily.

You don't say what sources you've tried, but here's a tip:
Don't go nywhere near a 'box' store. The clerks there usually can't spell their
own name the same way twice.
That said, welding cable is best obtained from a real 'welding supply' outlet.
You'll notice a large fenced area with hundreds of oxygen & other gas cylinders,
and customers who look like they work for a living. (Won't be any baggy pants
or low-rider cars with loud music nearby)
Most real industrial welding supply places even have the proper crimpers for attachment
of the terminals.
Since you won't know the exact length, here's a suggestion --
Purchase the cable and end terminals, measure/fit the cable ON THE PLANE, then
go back to the source for the crimp job.
Another hint - Some in the 'welding business' think that several sharp blows with
a large hammer is a 'good' crimp......it'll weld okay. The Hammer Crimp isn't
a good choice. Ask before they crimp.
Another source of really good crimps is a Lineman at your local electric co-op.
They usually have an assortment of big long-handled heavy-duty industrial-grade
just-what-you-need crimpers.
Sorry for the long-winded answer....keyboard went crazy.

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.
