    I used corded stranded copper 12ga wire and put the fuses as close to the battery terminals as possible. I used a wire insertion tool to push the wire thru the firewall. The tool will hang up a bit when you puncture the inner membrane and insulation. The wire comes out just above the emergency brake bracket, if you choose not to use an insertion tool. I then finished off the job with a grommet (don't forget to put it on. Ask me how I know), and a sparkling new AGM battery and terminals.
    Use wire ties strategically 'cause we will do some shakin'.
