Anyone know if the negative cable is 4 awg or 6 awg? Hard for me to tell.
I need to buy a butt splice connector and stretch it out farther...
Please advise!
Thanks!

Ok - here is what I am doing. I am swapping terminal locations - putting =ve closer to the firewall and -ve closer to the headlight. I have a nisei mini battery kit.
The negative cable is grounded to the firewall with a 10mm bolt. From there, it goes to the battery. Do we need to maintain this ground point. If we need to, I will extend it. Else, I may not need to do so.
Please advise!
