How to make your own ground wires.

PS - If you wish to upgrade the wire, use the same size Marine wire. The wire is tinned to minimize corrosion.

Good post - you can usually make these a lot cheaper than you can buy them.

Also if you solder the ends right no need to worry about corrosion as the solder will creep back to the insulation. also keeps crimps from coming lose, and improves conductivity. You can also buy closed end connectors prelined with soldier so u just shove the wire in hit it with a pencil torch and it's done with no need to crimp.

You should never solder high current connections, but for these ground connections you would be fine.
