:) Does any body know what the length of a , battery cable from the negative side to starter, for a 1940 P10 sedan would of been ,, My old one was 60" the one that I can get is 54" Thanks for letting me know if this will work , DANiel
My local NAPA store can make up a cable any length u want. Just make sure it is the biggest size-I think it is a #2- that they have. I could write a short story on troubles with too small of a cable-but if u use a bigger cable and keep the pos terminal clean u will think u have 12 volts.
In my opinion, if I were you, I would send to Andy Bernbaum and get the correct battery cables. I was having trouble starting by P10 and ordered the correct cables. I haven't had any trouble starting the car since. Everdently the old cables were bad inside where it couldn't been seen. I had always kept the terminals clean. Again, just something to think about.

Andy Bernbaum sells really beautiful Batt Cables and Starter Cables: Cotton with tar insulation, Greetings! Go
I'd rather soak my head in battery acid than buy from Bernbaum.
Have you tried Gary Goers?
I buy a lot from Andy since 11 years without complaint. I always found competent people there to answer my questions. Only once I got a release fork (new) with a small crack. He offered to refund it immediately. I preferred to keep it as spare and do solder it.
I have bad experiences with wrong parts and no help with others.

Andy has the right cables. I just bought them for my 39. However the folks there treat you like crap. However that is a pretty straight forward order. Just be aware that if you ask them a question they will treat you like a moron. Try not to ak any questions and you will come away with your ego intact.
