Does anyoneone have suggestions on battery cable lengths?
I have my RV-6 set-up like an RV-7 with the battery forward of the firewall and the contact below. (the only benifit of being a slow builder is you have time to add upgrades) I will mount a common ground block above the battery, just above the longeron level.
I plan to buy the braided ground strap and the flexable battery cable from B & C. Any opinion on these items? Are they worth the extra $?
I can maesure the wires from the contactor to the (+) terminal and the one from the (-) to the ground block but I do not know how much slack to allow. Without the engine in place I don't know what length I need from the ground block to the engine block.
