I think this may to to the starter but only like 70% sure. Can anyone confirm. Should I have 2 large wire connected to the 13mm terminals and does it matter which one is connected to which terminal?

Can't tell from the angle in your pic, but it looks like the battery positive cable that goes in that batt + box just behind it. Are there two leads in the batt + thingy?

About the starter - should have two large cables going to the same post on the starter. One from the battery and one continues forward to the alternator

Yes correct. We found that on a pelicanparts diy for clutch replacement. They had a pic of the starter and the two larger cables bolted to the aft post on the starter.

Thanks!
