As Zoran had replied t himself  :), you can get the hook up in a welding
shop, complete with ends in the flavor you want.

Another place I have found useful is Mechanical and Governmental Surplus
shops. You may need to search your local phone book for them but most
large metro areas have one/some nearby.

Big o' honkin cable, h eavy duty coverings resistant to heat and oil,
and ends already in place.

And cheap too.  ;)
