Earth straps

[vwmk3jon]

Had a bit of a plan whilst playing with my charger!

The earth cables I've seen on my engine look nasty which I don't like tbh. I've got a big bundle of terminals and plenty of blue amp power cable (4 gauge or 20mm squared) which I no longer need for my stereo and would match my silicone piping.

Would it work if I made earth cables using this and would I have any issues?

Cheers folks

the only worry would be whether the insulation could cope with under bonnet temps and if it'll go funny if it gets bits of oil on it.  Although I guess neither would stop it working, just make a mess

Afew people upgrade the big 3 cables so to speak when upgrading cabling for big ICE installs so I don't see much difference although I can keep the OEM items just incase. Thinking of changing charger earth and the gearbox earth.
