Use a fusible link where the ammeter wire connects to the starter cable. It will handle current surges better than a fuse. I'd choose a piece of fuse link of about 12 gauge- - - -which should have a burn-out point of around 60 amps or so. Be VERY sure you get a good electrical connection. I use a Western Union splice for fuse links.
