Where to get a Positive Battery Cable for a DII???

I seem to think I remember someone making extended battery cables for a D2. You might try sending Tom (Antichrist) a PM to see if he does them...
I made my ground cables for the Range Rover...hd cable from Advance, terminals, and terminal crimpers. Before, I was losing almost .25 volts from engine to battery, now I am down to .01.

Then the answer is obvious i'll get you a new genuine one.
It is rare to see a D2 cable rusted and corroded though not like the D1s and RRCs

The problem is finding the damn right angle lug for the fuse box. I haven't been able to find them.
I have a source for something that might work, yes, it's a quality connector too, I just need to order a couple and try them out. The problem is they aren't cheap, or at least not as cheap as the OE fuse box connector. But maybe that's a good thing.

I've pursued the same but gave up on it for both the double connector and that damned "flag" on the fusebox end.
For my positive I found a big brass connector at a car stereo shop. Has about 6 possible cable connections with allen keys that screw down on the cables.Looks kind of like this http://www.amazon.com/Raptor-RGBTP-4C-Positive-Battery-Terminal/dp/B00322QF0M/ref=pd_vtp_e_1For my negative I found a short ground strap in my wrecking yard from a BMW. I just bolted that to the the old ground cable where it was held down to the body next to the fuse box.
The OE positive cable is actually 2 seperate cables that once you cut the insulation away is easy to work with.

got any pics of yours? it's funny because i have almost the same terminals you posted, pos and neg. aren't both of the oe wires going to the terminal 1 guage? and the pos terminal you linked to has slots for 1 and 4 only.
i'm about to rewire everything for winches/accessories and i've been wondering how much of a bitch it is going to be to mess with the oe pos end.
as far as the neg body connection at the front of the fuse box, i was able to split it open, clean the fitting (it's brass) and solder in the open section of my ground wire(temporary) when i had to extend it for my PM-1.
If the cables themselves are OK and the positive terminal is messed up/crappy, buy 1 (or 2) of these:

and a couple (or 10) of these:

crimp/solder the ends on the old cables and be done with it.
