Actually, the cable is pretty close to what's pictured. The wire is a bit under a quarter inch and the insulation is 9/16 inch. They mustn't have trusted their insulation back then LOL
Mike, the one you posted is about the right size to go to the chorehorse.
My picture shows that the cable is the same size as the ones on the Morris. So on the last pic I cut that piece of aerial wire out of the picture (that white rectangle in the upper right) and moved it down to compare with the battery connections. It's the same size!
The wires from the chorehorse are about the same size as the leads from the set.
I now think I'll make the panel out of plastic. I have a piece of 1/4" lexan that I'll use. Once it's painted black it could be a piece of what ever kind of plastic you could imagine! It won't break either.
