There are a TON of posts already about this and much more, they say where to get them how much they go for and so on, they are worth 100 easy. for a nice set that does not look all weathered and the rubber cables getting brittle,the prices of 80 are for guys who shop and know to be patient,I sold a 14 ft set to a friend for 75, there are at least 6 to 8 lenghts out there, I have 12 fters 26fters and 45fters and I also have 8ft old style along with 20 ft old style, so many manufacturers over many years many many years and U will find right when U think U learned it all U will locate something the military did U did not know, so best advise keep an open mind . like everything else, there are a few different ends available a few different types/grades of rubber like some can be good neoprene and some more stiff, all are good, the bigger green ends that have the nuts showing at the point where the cable enters the head are the best.Like gimpyrod is saying U are asking alot more than U think, start searching old threads for the most info...the ends go fo 50 each easy and are worth it from vendor U may find right here, the cable will be big bucks too, its cheaper to buy em already done.
