I just made my own slave cable with a NATO end on one end and regular jumper cable clamps on the other. Austin (beltfed34 on Ebay) had the ends but the thing that was hard for me to find were the crimp-on lugs for the NATO end. They're narrow and have the lug tab centered on the cable centerline.

Re: RE: Repairs for slave cables
You could make 3 sets, some have said you don't need anymore than 20 feet.86k10 said:

The longer it is, the more resistance you have. Think about how you plan on using it, and how close the vehicles will have to be to each other.

beltfed34 has the ends.. I prefer the AB Connector ones, they seem to stand up to abuse better than the black rubber ones...

50' cabe is heavy. I have a 15-20' and several 50' cables. I really thought about cuting the 50' cables into 20'. I have several of the ends. even have a couple of the rubber ones.

With copper at $2.50+ per pound I might just make 2 and scrap the rest.
