How do you intened to splice the cable? Not a good idea.

It isn't worth splicing. It goes from your battery to either a relay or the starter. 4-5 feet most.

I would just replace the entire section. Splicing can be done but it is not usually pretty; a western union type splice can work but it should then be soldered and thoroughly protected against corrosion. I'd use a nice heavy gauge wire like #2awg or something that can handle some juice!
