Great information. It is normal for a business to explore and expand. Because people want something different and want to know backgrounds of company that they will trust.

usually the alt case is the ground, not a dedicated post. that is usually POS. idk what you have though. but you can either leave the factory stuff or remove it.

Whats the fault rate for not fusing alt wire?

Also front battery to rear battery?

I ask cuz I've already gone over my budget by $100+ and dont have the funds to do this. Just trying to figure what kind of gamble I'll be taking.

my big 3 alt wire isnt fused, but my front to back battery is. anl fuse holders and fuses are cheap security. need one at front and rear battery. you're already over, might as well do it right.

Guess I am a visual guy....but I can't see how to do this. If someone could post pics (the ones the threadstarted posted are apparently not there anymore) that would be very helpful to me.

Thanks
