Looking to change out my battery cables with correct looking ones, do I really have to pay $200?

Thanks!

I picked up a good set that look true to original for a decent price but I can't remember for sure which supplier.  It was either BE/A or Bill Alphin A&M.

If you're not looking for 100% concours these are a good low-cost alternative:

Only difference is they route under the brake booster instead of over it. I have a set on my '69, car is not stock but the cables worked fine.

    Do you mean the wire that goes to the starter relay ?  My 500 has manual brakes and  I don't ever remember any wires  over the master cylinder, I am almost sure they all went under it.  :shruggy:

If there was a power booster the cables went over it, at least that's how it is on '70's.
