I’ve looked for the receipt for mine but can’t find it but going from memory mine had 8mm ring and a larger one that went to a starter motor bolt.

SYFL2, Thank you for that, I am going to go for 10mm on one end and 8mm on the other. Thanks again.

I bought a 36" black 170Amp cable with 8mm and 10mm ring terminals from Ebay for £7.85 delivered.

I attached one end to a threaded hole on the top of the autobox (middle of pic below), as that was easy to get at, and the other end on the earth terminal up behind the battery.





Attaching to a starter motor bolt might be better in theory but its more awkward to get to and the gearbox is in good electrical contact with engine. And the hole is crying out for something Very Happy Jules
