Default st170 battery to boot conversion help

hey guys, a need sum help.
am doin a battery to boot conversion and have bought a multi link box to connect all my cables into so i can run one wire the full lenght. i am going to put two fuses in the circuit as safty measures. one at the front of the car and one at the back. both are 60amp fuses. can sumone point me in the rite direction of what cable to use and if i will be fine with my normal battery if i put it in where the spare wheel should b an vent it somehow to let the gases out. how can i vent it properly.
i got another short earthing wire aswell to sort that problem out.i notice there are two earths attached to the battery in the engine bay, how do i get round this aswell.

The earths that you are left with at the front that origanally went to the battery bolt them to the chassis of the car.
A good motor factors should be able to supply you with a length of battery cable if not look for your local 'DURITE' dealer as these people make it.
Rally design and demon tweeks sell battery box's which should help you secure the battery in the wheel well.
