-go to home depot. get a hollow piece of copper pipe.
- place a piece of plywood over it
- take a BFH and flatten the pipe into a sheet.
- drill two holes on opposite ends of the pipe large enough for a screw to fit through.
- attach one scew through battery terminal and copper pipe on one end. attach the cable with other screw on opposite end.
- drink beer, your done.

Just get a longer cable from PepBoys/Strauss/etc. It actually can be a PITA on the SC400 since our alternator is under the engine and the cable connection is on the back of the alternator. But, still very doable. Beer helps! Trust me!

I edited my post and added the pic .... had the set up for 3+ yrs ... never had an issue. I don't know about you, but I don't go around with a piece of metal connecting opposite posts.
