Title: Earth Straps
Post by: Breaker on 13 February 2009, 08:44

I'm going to replace all the earth cables in the engine bay.
Does anyone have any idea on whats cable sizes and where they all are.

Its a KR block and I have so far:
Engine head to bulkhead.
Gearbox to chassis leg to battery
Bonnet one while i'm doing it

i'm guessing 0gauge for the main one to the box?
