My New Favorite Spare...And way to store 'em

I've been troubleshooting a problem with my starter the last couple of days. At one point, (as per Vic's advice,) I thought it might be a bad battery ground cable. I had a new one made up and tried swapping it out. It didn't fix my problem, but as soon as I was onboard working the swap I realized that such a cable would be a very handy thing to have as a spare, not only to replace a broken or fatigued one, but to be able to jumper out various parts of the high current circuit, or even an entire battery if I had to. A definate keeper.

I also wanted a way to keep the spare starter on-board without worrying about corrosion. The wife's seal-a meal was the logical answer. Just vacuum pack that sucker like a hamburger dinner!
