Jason,

I didn't have time to post pics today - sorry. The length of wire is about 2 feet. The wire goes from the alt to the battery positive. It does not go to the firewall. The 2 ga wire is pretty thick, and kind of hangs there in space. I have installed a 60 amp fuse in the middle of this wire, so really it's two 1 foot long wires. The fuse will be screwed to the fender. (Right now it's zip-tied to the A/C lines, as it got dark and I ran out of time.)

Not sure that 2 ga wire is really needed. I had it laying around. It might be overkill.

You end up with two wires from the alt to the batter. The OEM wires, including the fusable + the new wire.

Hope this helps. Let me know.
