I think most guys run one wire into the bay and then have a junction block, and by most I mean everyone I have ever talked to or everything I have ever seen has been done like that.

The fusible links that I looked at always had two bolts for mounting and two bolts for power in and out. As long as you build yourself a bracket and mount it to the firewall it should be pretty secure.

I connected the battery cable to the wires in the engine bay by putting a bolt and nut holding them together then covered it in electrical tape. Given, 2G's only have about two or three wires there, not an entire fuse box.
Also, if you need to have a kill switch, keep in mind you will also need to wire the alternator straight to the battery.

Manny do what Derek is doing and grab a fusible link, 180 seems to be the norm.

My red top is in the box, but with no vent tube. They are a sealed cell battery so they don't need to be vented.
I'll pick up a battery post some time later this year to clean it up.

Something like this http://www.dsmtuners.com/attachments/jafros2gbatteryshit-v2-jpg.107939/Jafro used a circuit breaker and a fuse on the alternator wire because if the engine is still running and something happens to that wire the alternator will still be sending power down it. The same reason you have a breaker or fuse close to the battery.

I got these two when I did mine. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000CQ23KC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00ITN38XG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Doing a 100amp breaker from the battery to the alternator using 4 gauge wire. My build thread has pictures of my breaker setup, or should at least.

I'll pick up a battery post some time later this year to clean it up. Here's a picture I was looking for to explain why venting is necessary. One of the 4 optima red top batteries I've owned, that failed, was hissing from that relief port. I wouldn't like that to happen inside the trunk, which is basically the cabin. Just my opinion though.
