Technical Rebel Wire Harness diagrams and wiring info

I have a charge wire kit from Vintage Auto Garage that came with 10ga wire and 125a inline fuse that I plan to use.

 

Do what you want. You asked if it would be safe. In my opinion, a 10 ga that long will be undersized and could overheat. Perhaps I am reading more length into your deal than is there. I use an 8ga on mine for a shorter run.

You could also run it down the left side of the engine and then around and down the back with the start wire and connect it to the stud with the battery cable. No need to run it way back to the battery. Size of the wire would be determined by the output of your alternator. Step up to 8 gauge if your alternator is 80 amp or greater. 10 gauge is good otherwise. Safer than running it in and out thru the fire wall and along with other parts of the harness. Shorter run of this wire would also be better.

 

Routing it this way will shorten total length to roughly 6 ft. Sounds like a good idea. What about location of the inline 125 amp fuse. Should it be close to one end of the wire or anywhere that’s easy to access?

 

All that fuse will do is protect that one wire, IF there is a short.
I consider it unnecessary.
But if you want to use it, I suggest it should be near the alternator.

 

Isn't that big fuse intended to go in the main battery feed to the fuse panel. Usually located close to where it is connected to the battery terminal on the starter solenoid or starter relay depending on the engine.

 

no the Rebel kit came with a fusible link for main feed. Charge wire kit came from vintage auto garage with a fuse.
