Battery cable _ Yorkshire

[seaesta]

Anyone know a supplier of 15mm battery cable AND terminals in the Yorkshire area. My old ones have got so rigid that they are likely to damage my new starter solanoid . All the car spare folk seem to have only "made up" battery straps which are nfg . I have been advised to use bits of jump leads but these seem to be insufficiently flexible
Thanks

What I used on my boat was some very heavy duty arc welder cable about
the size you mention, lovely stuff,very fine wire and all tinned,
And unbelievably supple, lies flat as pancake, probably get roasted now!!!!
but I am more than pleased with it,

Try ringing around welding suppliers, I used one in Barnsley they had crimping gear as well. Make sure that the cable can handle sufficient current! most cheap jump leads break down and over heat under constant load with slow starters. There is also a good one in Wakefield on Horbury Road. Just a thought have you tried Commercial vehicle Automotive suppliers I got a lead made up for my old 4 ltr 24volt Landcruser

I realise they are from the otherside of the hill but have a look at the Acorn Engineering site www.acornengineer.com their fitting out catalogue is extensive and includes everything electrical.
