Check in one of the less recent newsletters as there is a guy who can furnish the spark plug cables. You can get the cable for 6V made up at some battery shops, particularly those around for awhile. It is "possible" you could find one of those 0 AWG is it? at NAPA.  Maybe someone on this forum can come up with the spark plugs wire supplier. I'll check back later and if no one has provided the source, I'll pull out some old newsletters and find it.

Check with Carl Hering for the spark plug wires . I think some of the other venders have the battery cables . I have been told tractor dealerws or supply stores have correct 6 volt battery cables .

I had a local alternator shop do my cables, as well as generator, regulator and starter.  They have been in business a long time.  I think if you find someone like that, as others have suggested, they will be able to do it for you.  If you are interested in correct positive-to-ground woven cables, Larry Barker has them 602-373-1456.
