Hi all.....done a search and found varying opinions on battery cable size. What size do you recommend for use with a Zetec?
Ta,
Matt

For which bit? Battery to Starter?

Edit: Battery to starter - 16mm
Starter - Alternator 10mm
Battery negative to fuse 16mm

Thats what i use anyway

I use 16mm extra flexible cable for the main neg and positive cables.

"Battery negative to fuse" ?

Normally battery negative should go straight chassis & engine earth points can be via a master switch if required.

If a main "Mega Fuse" (usually 100 to 200 amps) is used it is normally placed in the main +ve battery feed to the main engine compartment fuse box.

Main starter solenoid cable is normally wired straight to battery +ve terminal without any fuse.

On modern tintops usual practice is to wire the main alternator output to engine fuse box side of the main Megafuse.
