Best place to install fuse

I couldn't figure how to include my pic of my installation, but I went ahead and installed the inline blade type mini fuse (25 amp) that is a rubberize setup with a "waterproof" cap on it. Simple and easy to get to. Next is a good battery cutout.
Thanks for all the advice and photos.

Figured out (I think) how to add a pic. Here's my setup.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I felt this was the best place to post this question. Does anyone know what gauge the wire running from the junction box to the generator cut-out is?

Today I purchased a "heavy duty" inline fuse holder with #12 wires. I also bought a pack of 30 amp. fuses. Where would be the best place to wire it in?

Thanks Guys,
Pete

Just my opinion, but to me, it sure is an ugly pile of non-era stuff: Phillips screw, black plastic frame, red plastic wire, 1/4 quick-connect, clear vinyl sleeve, shrink tubing. That's six items that do not appear "era" to my eye. I like the other one. Again, you asked for an opinion! For the record, I don't think that red wire is cross-linked polymer, which is the only plastic wire insulation suitable for under-hood use. It looks like the cheap easily melted plastic junk sold in auto parts stores. That clear vinyl shrink sleeve isn't worth a darn, either. Any insulation that melts if you hold a soldering iron to it is unsuitable for automotive use. If you hold a soldering iron to it and it turns brown, smokes, but remains in place, like cross-link wire, that's good.
 
MikeK: when I was using that style fuse ( before the large nuts "separated" from the fuse link) I was able to cover the piece of red wire with a piece of fabric loom so it didn't look too out of place.
