Bugeye battery / solenoid / starter cable lengths

Hey could one of you Bugeye guys put a tape measure on your battery to solenoid and solenoid to starter cables for me? These don't have to be exact, but center of battery post to center of upper solenoid nut and center of lower solenoid nut to starter would be great.

I want to get a new set made up and I am 1000 miles from my car.

Thanks ever so much
Charlie

Takes a long one and a short one off the rack.

You buy yours off a different rack, Jack. I realize sounds like an idiotic question but my rack has at least 16 lengths. I'd like to get a little closer than this:


LYNX SWITCH-TO-STARTER BATTERY CABLE, 66 IN.
SKU Number: 0474453
Manufacturers Number: LCS60SS

Thanks anyway.

Looks like 11 inchs for the short one and 21 inchs for the long one.

Now you understand I did not remove em just measured best as I could.

Had no nice pic with a battery in. Oh yea, mine are red, lol.

Red? Uh oh. I don't think I can get 'em in red. (Just kidding of course). Mr. Laird, I am <span style="font-style: italic">extremely gratefu</span>l to you for making the effort to make these measurements for me. Hopefully I will be able to supply some important information to you one of these days. :bow:

Best,
Charlie

PS: ALWAYS love to see pictures of your car.

Mine are red because I could not get em at the store in black. Would have had to try another place. sigh.

And I found a pic.
