    As my name says, I am a noob to the Mavs. I'm saving up for one to hopefully restore and thought that it couldn't hurt to gain some knowledge on the subject from some people who are a lot more knowing. Good to meet all of you, and please try not to get upset at my inevitable stupid questions haha

    Mavericks are very easy to work with once you learn them, Just right for the new tinkerer or new machanic.:tiphat:Personally I have had many cars and trucks ,enjoy the simple things.

    You can make one easy and cheaply. 10 guage wire and two eye terminals. Go from negative post clamp ,to inner fender metal , or engine to body metal ground.:tiphat: Hope this helps.
