Suppliers of made-up cabling?

[EML]

I need a short length of cable to connect a battery lug to a shunt - a few inches long, 16 sq.mm, M10 ring terminals at both ends. I've used a chandler to make up longer cables in the past, but it's a two-hour round trip. Any ideas on online suppliers?

Failing that, I guess I'll need to bite the bullet and get a heavy-duty crimper - any recommendations?

Alternatively with care you can sweat (soft solder) the lugs on and heat shrink over the joints to tidy up.

Tin everything first and wipe the excess solder off the cable with a rag when hot, push into the lugs and warm with a small amount of extra solder. This was the method in use both in the auto industry and mains (240/415v) terminations up to the early 70s when aluminium cable and hydraulic crimpers too over.

I went to my local electrical store and they made up the various lengths and connections I required .

Hi Gerry - sorry, I'd already ordered by the time I'd got to this - but, free beer for you should we ever meet!

That's great - I ordered with them - cheaper and slightly more plausible than the ebay ones. £4.20+VAT for 200mm of 35sq.mm cable, with M10 connections, and free delivery - possibly too good to be true?! Ta.

If in no rush, put the full info of what you require on here, and I’m sure someone can make what you require and stick it in the post for you. Many of us own crimpers
