I am about to change the battery terminals "straps" on my 90 Civic but the terminals list for 4 or 8 gauge wires. Anyone have any idea the OEM size for early Hondas? 6? 8 gauge? Thanks

flow of a conductor doesnt go through it, it actually goes around it. if you are talking about a ground wire from the batt to chassis or like on from the motor to the rad support you should get the kind that looks woven becasue its got more surface area to flow current

a friend of mine who makes custom harnesses and does custom tucking/shaving jobs on engine bays recommends using 4 gauge for any honda 88+

So are you saying Honda uses 4 gauge from the factory? Or he suggests I upgrade to 4 gauge?? Thanks
