OK, someone explain it to me--------

I am at the stage wiring my engine bay with the MAD ampmeter bypass that it is time to put the fusable links to the starter relay. The MAD document calls for a 14GA link from the alternator to the starter relay and a 16GA link from the starter relay to the dual wires running through the drilled out bulkhead connector. Being an electrician I am trained to fuse these deals, not have a wire that intentionally melts down! I am thinking of using a standard spade fuse block (double) and fuse both circuits with a 40A in from alternator and a 30A out to dash power. (I am installing Rob's headlight relay kit) So, I can go either way and unless someone can give me a damn good reason to install melting wires, I will fuse it. Please advise!
Thanks all and enjoy the Super Bowl!----------DR----------:coffee2:
