alternator wires

I used a fuse on the alternator output in both A's. It is in the fuse/relay box from a Jeep I installed. It is at least 60 A (forgot). Using a 12 awg as a fusible link seems kind of silly when in series w/ an 8 awg. Direct off the BATT+ feed, I put a large fuse (180 A?) that looks like post #9. I have an in-line Battery Brain, so was easy to bolt to its terminal. I wrapped all exposed copper w/ silicone tape. The starter wire comes direct off the battery and is unfused. I have seen some Jap cars that have high-amp fuses inside the BATT+ post connector, so even their starter is fused.
