Hi Keith,

Don't think the exact dimensions Ford used can be found. Use the thickest who look acceptable. A little more can't do any harm.

Keith,

I can't find anything on the size of the battery leads. I have a couple of original leads here and they are not overly thick. The original earth lead was not wire, it was 8 strips of thin metal, approx. 1 inch wide with a terminal soldered on one end. The other end just has a hole drilled for a bolt.

In a previous post you asked the size of the battery. I have now found the correct information and it is :-
12 volt 57AH; 9 Plates per cell; Length 13 1/16 inch;
Width 6 13/16 inch; Height 9 1/4 inch; Approx. Weight 63 lbs.
