My positive cable is 33" to 34" long.
It is easier to hide extra length than to find the required length. I have 8mm eyelets crimped on the end. I have also used fabric braid inside the metal conduit for this cable as I never want to have an electrical issue and have to re-do work.

Started on the wiring today 35 o in the shed not the best weather to do it . This was the most frustrating part of my restoration so far hat to do it twice to get it through the conduit , hard work because some wires go to dash other go to reg the rest to solenoid any way lots of sweat and tears but it's now done . Ended up with 9 wires to dash . 5 to reg . 3 to solenoid hope this is correct ?

Conduit and wiring finished today glad that job's done
  I had a couple of hours spare this afternoon so I tested out for the first time my new gantry crane and lifted the air scoop in , now it looks like a carrier

Agree with Keith on that!
Have you decided on markings? Mike

Dale,
I've got nothing of note on that registration, so I suppose unless someone else comes up with something, then the choice of timing ('42 onwards) and an Australian-based unit is yours to make. Maybe a Victorian-based unit like the AFV School, or leave it with just the ARN and bridge marking and says its at 1COD Bandiana 'in storage', and you only get it out for scheduled service and test runs! Mike
