He had some electrical wire though.
We were just starting to jury rig something when his wife showed up with
cables in her trunk.

If we did jury rig electrical wires, we were unsure of what size would

Google this: car jumper wire minimum gauge


Now that is to damn simple...

Use vise grips for clamps.
