I am changing my battery terminals to the Military style post clamp. I am using my original batt. cables. Does anyone know what ga. The cables are? I need the size for both Neg. and Pos. so I can get the correct lugs to attach to the batt. clamps.

Thanks

I just installed the military clamps a few weeks ago, but I replaced all the cables with heavy duty welding cable. You might not have enough left on some of the cables to properly crimp new connections, so I would highly recommend not trying to reuse the existing cables (reusing the oem cables was my original intent as well).

This is what I ordered to complete the job and had enough to replace everything:
