At present both batteries are earthed at different points.

I have as i figure you can never have enough earths. But I cant say it really made a noticeable difference to anything.

All well and good but I have to go to the local Lawrence & Hanson branch to get the cable and they will have no idea about "Patrol B&S". So what is the real size besides as big as possible?

Patrol B&S is a big black metal thing that the Engine, Body and Suspension bolts too...
IE use the Chassis as the earth (I was being a smart arse, who'd a thunk that eh).
Use the shortest #2 B&S length you can to connect the batteries to it

Shock Horror!!!!! ET being a SA..

This is what I have done for my wiring.
Single positive 30mm2 wire for my dual battery stuff..

I get the idea about a BIG THICK cable between the positives, just basics.
but is that Patrol B&S nice as it still really requires lots of earth straps, AND no corrosion.
Dam, that C word again, just like the R word, (rust):jawdrop:
