There was some corrosion at the crimps on either end of the pos cable where the insulation had cracker, but the damage underneath was obvious rubbing abrasion in the bundled sheath, right at the first clamp. I've got a fair amount of oil blowby down there from old leaky gaskets (future project). I've got pictures of the cables after I pulled them and of the neg cable with the old and new brackets for comparison. I'll try to get those pics uploaded later this evening or tomorrow.
