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.

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?
