I got quoted $35 a meter for some 0 Gauge cable, just to show how expensive it is.

T_Terror bought about 10 metres of 0 guage for about 100 bucks if I recall correctly. I was with him, but I don't recall where we got it. I think we even got 2 battery holders as well. Shop around ;)

As atec77 mentioned, get a price on some welding cable from a welding supply shop.

I went to BOC (in Moorabbin) and bought some 35mm2 (I think) cable. While you are there get the lugs.
Also keep in mind, thicker the better. Also upgrade your earth wires. The battery has to be vented to the atmosephere, it has to be bolted down and have a metal base.

btw you really should run a earth back to the engine block from the battery as, using the chassis is not really good enough for cold cranking. and current drawing throuh it.
