is this the cable used for wireing of electrical needs around the engine?

I would imagine some very very dia. small wire ciould be used for this. Or, is thias the connecting wire for a trailer? then, the same applies...wire this thick, reduced to 1/35th scale is going to be very small. Compare the cable in a 1:1 hand and then find wire that matches the same on a 1/35th figure.

you might check a radio supply shop or even some telephone wire (single strand of course) as a useable wire...

cheers mate and good luck,

If you are talking about slave starter cables have a look at Accurate Armours site, I believe that you will find just what you need.

greetings,
Thank-you for the info, A clarification; slave cable is a military term for a jumper-cable, an electric cable used to transfer power from a live to a dead electric source.
a adapter fits into the NATO cable to connect to non-NATO type recepticles.ie, M60A3 to M113...and be quick about doing it.

well, i searched the accuratearmour website and didn't find one listed on their site...

but, from looking at the images that google had showing...it appears to be a cable with a small box at each end (as opposed to the clamps we civilians use) this could be scratchbuilt rather easy IMHO.

cheers again mate,

Kevin,

It is there but it states it is a set for British vehicles, so I am not sure if I have wasted your time.

Here is the link:-
