not sure yet. maybe 15-18ft. Need to tie into the starter. Can be 2ga,1ga or 1/0.
Weldco sells it. It's pretty cheap, it was a little over a dollar a foot a few years ago for 00. It's probably twice that now.

Jerry's welding out on 32. Andy Law and I were talking about this place the other day. I need some also for my van.
Speaking of welding stuff, does anyone know of a good place to get a new tank and some supplies for my Mig near Hyde Park/Oakley? The last time I bought welding stuff was out near Fairfield, and I really don't want to drive that far if I can go someplace closer to home. Norwood, Spring Grove Ave, near Lunken...any place like that?

I second that, for the difference in cost and the trouble to install it just get the 2/0.

I just bought a 152cf cylinder with C25 from Weldco through our account at work. They are right next door on Dalton and Bank, Near the Liberty Exit. I would check around and see what works for you. Valley Gas in right off the exit also. Indiana Oxygen is out in Cleaves they are a big welding outfit also. Then there is always the Dog and Pony store. Tractor Supply.

Gene there is a place on eastern ave near lunken. I got my miller mig and a tank from them years ago I think its eastern hills welding I still see there truck from time to time droping off tanks. Also Smyth paint store has tanks but I think they may be higher than a welding supply house.

well damn thanks for the options guys. Guess I'll check out Weldco and Napa since they are down the street from me and Tractor Supply since there close to home.
I was thinking 1ga from the alt back and 1/0 for the starter and fuse block. The bigger the cable the more weight it will ad. Plus finding the right connectors may be a pain too.
