For replacement cable Tri Rated 50 or 70mm2 cable, using a hydraulic crimper. City Electrical Factors supply Tri rated cable in the cut length required. Cable ties direct for the lugs, make sure you have the correct CSA and fixing holes sizes for each lug. A crimper from Ebay is ~£20
50mm is way over spec for a little Perkins, never mind 70mm. I would advise against using tri-rated cable for batteries, proper battery cable is the stuff to use. For instance, 35mm tri-rated is only rated at 167amps and has 276 strands of wire, whereas 35mm battery cable is rated for 240 amps and has 451 individual strands. So 35mm is much more flexible and carries more than enough current for the OPs engine, unless his cables are excessively long.
