So clear the wire and route away from heat would be more important than the Alternator itself. The alternator only get hot when under a big load. How often do you expect to need those 60 amps? Running A.C.? Big sound system? Alternator has a "fan" often the pulley to cool the internals. Air flow matters, swamp heat is only an issue if the air can't flow. Fixing a melted un-fused wire sucks.
