Default Few thoughts on this

Since it is an 'up-grade'.

First; I think I'm starting to like the big maxi fuses better than fuse link wire. If nothing but for the ease of changing them compared to doing fuse link correctly. Sure is easy to carry spare fuses as opposed to carrying spare link, soldering iron, etc.

2: Junction block for power supply is the only way to go. I like un-cluttering engine wiring as much as possible. Especially when fuse link is used. Forget those days of having to go to the starter solenoid or undoing wiring harness behind the alternator to repair a fuse link.

3: Replace wire but use the original power supply wire locations going inside. Both engine running/alt charging (main splice under dash), and the orignal engine off/no charge junction block wire. Just splice the two together where the old amp guage connections were at. That may be overkill but is bound to last for ever.

Simplier the better. Cleaner and neater. No extra wires on a hot engine.
