Does it need to match in appearance to the one you have? If so attach a picture of the old one.

Hey Dave, I bet he plans to keep it for quite a while. Just kidding!

Good one Rusty!

I wasn't very clear but they do come in different lengths and he may be looking for a particular termination style. I will attach a picture of the ones I will sell. The first is 6 inch and is a y n z, the rest are nos delco/Packard cables 7, 9, 14, and 19 inch. Let me know.

I knew what you meant.

Try that on the young person at the hardware store when you tell them you need a certain diameter screw or bolt. They often ask me how long I want it. I tell them that I was not planning to return it. Many of them get a confused look.

Thanks for all your responses. The length of the strap is 14" and it has "GM" on the end closest to the strap. It is all copper. Replacements all have tin plating over the copper. Since I posted, I purchased a new one made by Standard Products. I would still like to get one that is as I described and like what stefacoupe described. I also am looking for a cloth covered positive cable, 41" overall length.
