Anyone recommend source for "big 3" parts?

For the right battery cabling etc..., can these be easily obtained walking into a Parts Source or just about any automotive parts shop should have the cabling available?

For some reason I can't picture Canadian Tire having what I need, unless they have it on spools behind the parts counter?

TIA

Any local car audio shop. Support your local small buisness. They'll have what you need.

Anyone do big 3 on a Honda Civic? Just curious, as the positive terminal on my alternator also has some extra plug to it. I don't want to mess something up or fry something.

Nevermind, looks like it just hooks up to the bolt that is covered by rubber. Got to try to get big 3 done this weekend, once I figure out what lengths wire I need.

it's likely just the sensing wiring that makes the alternator work.

Thanks, I'm more familiar with older car alternator set ups, looks like I should be good to go! Just got to get the cabling needed to do this now.
