Alternator Bypass Wire Routing

[vert]

Good post! Very useful. 
I put my battery in the trunk and ran a heavy cable to the firewall bulkhead stud.  I'll be running the bypass to that stud.

I also have one in place of the lighter that has a USB connection for cell phone charging ..... handy!!

Hi again ..... I was just reading that the use of fusible links are becoming obsolete and more recently a circuit breaker has replace these.

Have you come across a suitable type breaker that could be used for the red and black wires at the starter relay in place of the fusible links??

Just curious if we can make the jump to something more robust and useful to bring this older technology up to date?

If anyone else has any thoughts on this, please share.

I Googled: inline automotive circuit breaker and a bunch came up.
The link is just the first one that came up when I clicked on Images. One was even 150A.

Thanks Jay Bee ...... I may consider this as part of my conversion to the Volt Meter and bypass of the Red and Black in the bulkhead wires through the firewall.

Has anyone used this type of circuit breaker over a fusible link???   

Crackedback ...... what is your thought on using these?

I want to buy 2 of these bypass wires. Sent a message to @crackedback some time ago and never got a response. Is he still doing them? Or anyone else making them. I'm in Canada

I went to a local battery shop and they made one for me.

Thanks I may try that

It looks like crackedback has not been on the forum since Nov 2023.
Hope he's ok.

I spoke to him about 2 months ago and am pretty sure he is retired. I had to go elsewhere

[crackedback]

Not retired, just dealing with a longer term illness/condition.   Apologies to those I missed out on helping. 

I'm back building these again.  If I can get you fixed up, please reach out.

Curious, to those who promote this band-aid approach, just how does it make this charging system "safer" when it by-passes completely or adversely alters the designed circuit protection for all unfused factory wiring?

While this question is from over a year ago......
Fusible links are still used on new cars.
