Galvanized steel as a conductor.

I don't know the name of what I have. It's steel, galvanized I think,
a half inch wide, 1/16 inch thick and was about 3 feet long when I
bought it. Now I would like to cut 2 one-inch pieces, drill holes in
each end, and use screws and nuts to attach my new motorcycle battery
to one end and the battery "cables" to the other end of each piece.

Is there a problem because it is galvanized? Should I remove the
coating with a wire wheel on a bench grinder, or with a grind stone,
or is it ok?


I can't get an exact duplicate battery for my new 1969 Honda
motorcylce and the old one had its battery posts about a half-inch
outside the perimeter of the battery.

Sounds like its made to use in the ends of 3' high chain link
fencing. It goes though the raw end, and is held to the corner (or
gate) post with two or three clamps.

You're right! Hadn't remembered that. Although this is smaller than
what I usualliy see.

Thanks Rheilly, Meow, and Michael. I'll switch to comppoer or
aluminum. (I'm having trouble finding my piece of copper, if I have
one.)
