Bottom line, if it is 4ga it will work fine.

HD F/R assemblies should be available from the sponsors on the sponsors page.^^^^^

Yes they are, but I have 1/0 readily available and in plentiful amounts. I don't want to go overkill but saving $115 is sounding pretty good. Plus, the eye connections for the battery terminals are readily available too. Would it be worth a shot to use the 1/0 welding cable? If not, I can use the SEOW stuff.

Give this some thought, 1/0 cable may be a little tough to get on all your connections.

I cut off a piece of each cable. The welding wire is 1/0 and the SEOW is #2. Each are stranded and very pliable. I think I will try the SEOW as I have red, white, green and black for color coding. I'll get over to Autozone or NAPA to get the battery terminals after work... maybe just a few to see how it goes at first. Hopefully they have the same copper connections so I don't get too much corrosion with dissimilar metals. But I doubt it.
