i've searched and searched but never really got a clear answer
1) do i need to run a fuse since it is somewhat of a "hot" wire going through the cabin, and if so what size fuse(resistance? ohm rating, that stuff) im not too good with electrical)
2) what is the best way to attach the wire, from the starter? if so where on the starter and what do i do with the original starter wire? do i need to ground the starter somehow?
OR do i just somehow attach the new wire to the original terminal?
3) what do i do about the alternator and accessories wires? i believe those are the two other wires connected to the battery terminal
4)anything else you wanna add feel free!

sorry its late, i have read so much tonight, i cant seem to sort out all the info i read and make sense of it, everything is just scambled in my head
something i thought was so simple is looking a bit more difficult

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ANYONE THAT CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS
i dont know what i would do without this forum

Here is what I did, I cut off the connectors off the three wires going into the terminal.
I wound them all up together, added another fatty 1 gauge, taped it all up, and wound it all together and lead it to the back of the car, added a terminal to it and connected it to the battery.
Ground terminal, I just grounded the origonal one to the chassis.
For the battery ground, I just grounded it to the chassis.
