Does anyone make the exclusive 1974 positive battery cable ? I know that MoPar discontinued them eons ago , and that the parts stores' "replacement" cables are notoriously wrong , so a "roll-your-own" cable was the only option for years .
 
The following is part of a post I did a year ago on battery cables. If you have the part number or a part number is stamped on the old cable, M&H may be able to make you one.

Ah.. but it turns out there is another option and a much better one at that. M & H Electric Fabricators, Inc in Santa Fe Springs, CA can reproduce a correct positive battery cable for your car.
The web address: (www.wiringharness.com) But you won’t have much success navigating M &H’s web page for battery cables. Most inquires throw you back to Year One as M & H’s exclusive and only distributor. Yet you cannot find a 65 Barracuda positive battery cable listed by Year One.

I finally gave up on the web page and called them (562) 926-9552) and talked to [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Intraplate-Volcanism-Eastern-Australia-Zealand/dp/0521123224/ref=sr_1_83?s=books&ie=UTF8&sr=1-83"]Robert Wallace[/ame], one of the most knowledgeable humans on the subject of automotive wiring. I gave him the [ame="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?toolid=10029&campid=CAMPAIGNID&customid=CUSTOMID&catId=6000&type=2&ext=370568988712&item=370568988712"]Chrysler part number[/ame] as found in my 65 parts book (258717:cool:. ( note: part number 2587178 was stamped on the remains of my original cable as well) He confirmed they could build the cable to specifications derived from original factory technical drawings and the cable was set-up in their system as part number 35230. The cable would have the correct woven insulation on the starter end as the original.
