A fuse local to the alternator would do no harm either.

All the usual places sell battery boxes of some sort, Merlin, JJC, Demon etc etc
Yeah only reason I'm thinking fuse is because it's a constant live running the length of the car under the carpet. If it shorts out it's a fire hazard. Just need a fuse that's not going to blow under starting load or something silly.
