Don't know anything about that company - I had some made for my truck at my local NAPA store - just took mine to them and they made them to fit right there in the store in about 20 minutes. Cost me $90 after sales tax.

I called my Napa and they said they don't make cables...called around to a couple other places and they don't either. I'm trying a trailer shop right now.

Try Interstate Batteries, they were very good & cheap, last year I paidf about $54 for the positive cable from them ford wanted anywhere from $225-$258, for the ford cable, the interstate battery cable was made a lot better, then my old stock ford cable(also heavier gauge wire).

Try a boat place too. Lots of cables are custom made for that stuff.
