Hi Jason,
These cables can be purchased in standard lengths at the local autoparts
store. I used a piece of string to get the length and went in and bought it
by length. Then it turned out after trouble shooting that all I needed to
do was clean the poles of the battery and the starter, so the original
cables are back on.
Sorry John, I didnt even write down the length - and I returned the unused
cable.
