Battery Relocation Wiring

Hey all! Moving ahead pretty quickly with my build and next on my agenda is gonna be moving the battery to the trunk compartment. Obviously i know how to wire the battery, alternator and starter in order to make it start and charge once back there however what do i do with the other wires attached to the battery? Theres two inline fuses attached to orange wires on the positive side towards the headlight along with another inline fuse over inside the fender also attached to positive. How would you guys go about getting power to all of these? Should i just cut them off before the inline fuse extend the wires to the trunk then get new fuses or is there a better way i havent thought of yet?

Re: Battery Relocation Wiring

One option, and there are several, would be to route a larger wire (like about AWG8) from the auxiliary power (orange wire), then install an add-on fuse panel, like a Buss 15600-04, and feed the loads from there. The same could be done with battery power and the other constant power fused loads under the hood.
