Splitting Battery Cable
How do you neatly split the main battery cable to a 6 fuse box. The cable is too big to fit in the crimped terminal. I have currently soldered the
crimp terminals together in a row and solder the battery cable to the first terminal, I think it looks Pants
Open to suggestions
Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary... that's what
gets you.

The thick main batt cable goes directly to the starter motor, smaller wire (30 Amp) is attached to the batt terminal which then feeds the main fuse
box.

I like that idea looks very neat, by the sounds of it i'm trying to use to thick a cable, I'll give it a go with thinner cable.

Wire from the live side of the starter solenoid to either a Midi or fuse holder with a suitable fuse.
A midi fuse holder will accept up to 16mm^2 cable but 10mm^2 70amp should be OK

I've got one of those but i've put that directly on the battery then feeding the fuses.
Is that wrong?

Why not try a splitter like you use on a sound system?
