A good battery centre will sort you out and cut one up to the correct length and if needed put the right connectors on it. Search on eBay. A local one did one for my alternator to batt wire. £10 IIRC

170 amp cable will be fine try vehicle wiring products or AES both do it in metre lengths or rolls dont for get to use the same size for the earth from battery to body and body to engine.
