I'm using the cables that (I think at least) came with the kit, although I cut down the positive cable a lot.
My battery is located above the driver footbox using a Breeze kit. It is an Optima red-top with posts on top. The cable ends are WAY too big for the the posts.
What's up with that? I've been researching post sizes online and everyone assumes SAE sizing, so I would've expected the cables to match the posts. Optima doesn't even say anything about post sizing on their site, which I would think means they are SAE, although there are 3 SAE sizes. (I definitely do not have the JIS size posts.)
Even though the cable ends from FFR are the squish-together-as-they-tighten sort, there is no way to put them anywhere close to tight on the posts.
So how have I been go-karting these last couple summers, you ask, while I finish up the car? Well, the night of the first start, I went to hook up the battery as one of the final steps and encountered the issue. There were 20 people eating pizza and drinking beer in my garage waiting to hear her roar. So we stuck a couple screws in the gap and on we went. I have to get this sorted out. And yes that's been working fine for terrorizing the neighbors!
