[Spridgets] circuit breaker

Paul, I was thinking about the same thing.  I bought a large circuit breaker a while ago but never did anything with it because I didn't know where to put it or if it was even needed with all the existing fuses.  I wonder where a high amperage short could happen that would not be handled by the fuses?  Between the alternator and battery?  Or, battery and fuse block?   I've only seen something like this on one LBC so I guess not too many people are concerned about it!  Breaker shown is a 100 A, Napa/Buss 782-3114

After seeing Rick's post, maybe 100A is overkill?

I’m thinking about an overall fuse or circuit breaker to protect the wiring harness. But the question is how many amps?
