Battery negative/earth strap

Post by Ben jp4 »

[While changing my gear linkages I noticed my earth lead was hanging on by a few strands. My question is: can I use earn lead from any engine on my 1.6 16v? Also where can I buy new?

I can' t find any aftermarket producers. Wouldn't like to think what peugeot would charge. I will take any in good condition reasonable price.
