Any interst in 1/0 gauge ground straps?

I am in the process of upgrading battery cables to 1/0 gauge, and I have been looking for a 1/0 gauge ground strap as well. (I know there are very easy alternatives, such as just making a ground wire out of 1/0 gauge welding cable which I am using for battery cables, or just using two 4 gauge ground straps which are easy to find.) But in the process of looking for 1/0 gauge braided ground straps, I found a manufacturer, but I think the minimum order size is ten pieces. I don't know what the price is, but I will find out (it can't be too high...$15 to $20?). I just wonder if others here may be interested in this. It would be 12" long, with a flat fitting on each end with 3/8" hole, and be made of 1/0 gauge tinned copper braid, flat 1 3/8 inches wide for most of its length, except for the ends, which look like 3/4"...very high quality.

I believe this would be a perfect replacement for the ground strap on 123's, which is located below the oil filter housing. I don't know about other models. A nice upgrade for those of us who wish to upgrade battery cables to 1/0 gauge.

Drop me a PM if you may be interested...if there is sufficient interest, I will get a price per unit, plus shipping (in think flat rate USPS envelope is about $4.00), and get out to everyone at cost.
