burned cable

I put Hooker LTs on my 92 a while back and had no major problems with the installation or anything else until now. Just so you guys out there pay attention unlike me Keep that battery cable to the starter away from the header tubes.

I know I gave it plenty of clearance when the installation was done, but today my car made an awful noise while trying to start this morning. A little visual diag. and I found my positive cable to be melted/burned. No major set back, 12 bucks for a generic cable and some rerouting and I am back on the road.
