Dumb question, but I'm stumped.  Where does one buy the flat, woven, tinned
wire that is usually used for heavy current grounding...I've seen it in
various widths or gages or whatever actually on vehicles, but never in
FLAPS, J.C. Whitney, Fry's, etc.   Where is this stuff???

And here's another one:  I'm convinced that the spring band hose clamps as
used on newer vehicles is the only way to go (always applying compression
as the rubber ages/relaxes, as opposed to worm clamps that have to be
constantly re-tightened and weep if you forget) but I haven't found them
either (dealers still want to sell you the worm type).  Suggestions???
