Here's a link to the post I read Lonsome:
How To Make Your Own O Gauge Ring Terminals. - Car Audio Forumz - The #1 Car Audio Forum I'll make my own "How to" as I am going to tweak a thing or two. Quote:
I bought the "M" (it was available in 2' and 5' sticks as opposed to the 10' "L" stick.) and it looked the same thickness (to the naked eye) as the store bought lugs. ![]()

I'm not certain on the L, M & K that you saw listed. But generally we try to carry mostly medium duty tubing onboard for use. For example, a 10mm tube in Light duty rating may have a wall thickness of 1.50 mm, Medium duty would be 2.00 mm, and Heavy being in the 2.5 to 3.00 mm range.
Unless you are pulling hundreds of amps through the lug, I'm sure the differences would never be noticed. Hell for that matter, I have a lug in service now that I handmade 5 years ago from 19mm tube that continually flows 750 amps and is still alive and kicking. ![]() On paper I'm sure all those letters mean something to some pencil pushing engineer, but in the real world redneck engineering and common sense will still get the job done just fine. ![]() |

I only have a 200 amp max 100 amp idle alternator. I doubt I'll ever see the 200 amp side of it. Just wanted to make sure and yep , "the redneck engineering and common sense will still get the job done" is tried and true.

Great info! What sucks is why didn't you post this about three days ago. I just ordered lugs and cable to make new battery cables for our golf cart. This would have been a heck of a lot cheaper.

I see now. I did the same thing when I made my own welding spoon.
