Upgraded Engine Ground Strap
 

To upgrade my engine ground strap, I used a woven wire strap, like OEM, but much larger.

Here are the Pics:

The materials and the new crimper:

The finished strap:
I made it 2 inches longer than OEM to give it more flexibility. I slathered the ends of the webbing with Ox-Gard to prevent any corrosion inside the crimps.

The width of the new strap is 1-3/8 inches, vs. 7/16 inch OEM. Almost 3 times as wide and much thicker

Overall, I'm very happy with it. It's big, beefy, heavy, and very flexible. It will carry a LOT more current than the little OEM strap. The crimps are very good. I was actually hanging my weight on them, and they didn't fail.

What's cool is I have enough leftover material, so I can make several more. If anyone is interested, send me an email: support@montanasoft.com

Hope this helps someone.
