Default Replace/upgrade your battery to earth cables

These replace Rover part PRC5235 (D1 '89-'98 and RRC '86-'94)
Consists of:
  • Made from welding cable for better flexibility
  • #1 gauge (heavier than PRC5235) battery to chassis cable
  • Separate #4 gauge battery to body cable.
  • Professionally crimped heavy duty cable lugs (strands coated with dielectric grease beforehand)
  • Mil-spec Neg battery terminal
  • All connections sealed with adhesive lined heat shrink tubing for strain relief and to prevent corrosion.
  • Cable protected by wire loom secured with zip-ties.
I personally like this setup better as it eliminates the mid-cable attachment point that is a source of cable corrosion.
Both cables are long enough to reach regardless of battery post location, if you've replaced your battery (or plan to) with a different group.

$38 (subject to change as metal prices change) shipped Priority USPS to anywhere domestic flat rate boxes go.

Other cables/gauges available such as:
Other Land Rover models
Alternator to fuse box (red)
Battery to starter (red)
Starter to earth
Winch power cables (red or black)
Gauges #6 to 4/0

Nice work.

Will you be making these by request?
Will you be making these for a DII?

Thanks.
Yes.
These might fit a DII.
Battery to chassis is 28" on center with a chassis terminal to take a 5/16" (8mm) bolt.
Battery to body is 13" on center with a body terminal to take a 5/16" (8mm) bolt. This is a bit larger terminal than stock, but I've seen the body bolt snap off on removal so this allows a bit more flexibility fitting a new bolt.
