Do I really need the wire from the alternator to the bulkhead connector?

Do a search for "Sunpro" couple different ways of doing it. I just gutted a spare amp gauge housing, disassemble the volt meter and it bolted right in. I had to drill new holes for the voltmeter. Getting those holes in the correct spot was the hardest part.

Oh man, that is awesome. I'm definitely doing something similar.
