Anyone know where I can buy correct battery cables and lead hooded terminals?

Not sure if it says Patented Lucas on the terminal. Call and ask or maybe someone here knows.

I haven't gotten that far yet in my restoration.

Try ebay.
Just now I searched "lucas bettery cable" and found a power cable for a healey. A bit long for our cars, but could be shortened.

Rhode Island Wiring. 100% correct! right down to the LUCAS script. They look like this:

Jack I don't know anyone who supplies the original Lucas hooded active terminal with the hole adjacent as shown in your pic. I also got mine from Rhode Island Wiring as it's the next best thing & includes the correct black braided fabric covering. (Originally this black fabric was dyed using a tannin based dye which over the years slowly turned brown thus giving rise to the Furphy that battery cables were originally brown). Cheers
