at the time I put the cables in the 53 I got the biggest one the had at the local parts store. it was a #2 cable and then we put the ends on it. the car runs good but would fail to crank when up to operating temp. it would push start with the slightest of movement. so we did the over haul of the starter it didn't look that bad except for the rust build up on places. of course it only made a small amount of difference. so I figured we need a bigger cable. just had not gotten around to it. found a number of them on e-bay so though what the heck the price was not that bad and they put ends on it.
we got this one up. now then I cant say really how much bigger it is, it could be all insulation but the hot start problem has gone away. we went from a #2 cable to a 02 cable. now for a 12 volt car the #2 would be a over kill did not quite cut it for 6 volt system.
