Brief Description:  Attach lugs and permanently mount cable.

I was pleasantly surprised with the stiffness of the two cable harness after permanently tightening down all the clamps. It is very very solid with enough play between last engine mount clamp and first sump clamp for any engine shake. At the ANL fuse blocks I used a more precise fitting cable cover for the alternator connection and will do the same for the VPX connection too. The Vans white cable covers work ok but at the alternator end its too large for the 6 AWG cable. The covers are made for larger AWG cable so I crimped the white cover end a little with .040 safety wire. Not tight, but snug and it worked well. There's enough ''curve" in both starter and alternator wire that I can install a different starter or alternator configuration and still be able to reach a changed terminal location.
