For those still shopping for for "Big3" cables and can not find them, why not do it yourself so you can cut custom lengths for your unique install? The materials are easily available from Menards, Home Depot, Mouser Electronics or ebay stores at low costs. Terminal lugs are cheap from Mouser and one does not need the expensive OFC cables. Any good high temp, high strand count, large gauge welding cable will work very well. If worried about under hood environmental conditions one can get tinned marine grade cable.
Bolts size for alternator, starter, Battery+ fuse block is 5/16", and fender grounding studs are 1/4". The other materials one would need rosin core solder, silver solder and heat shrink along with propane torch for soldering. There you have it your own cables made to your exact length for your car.
