Okay.  Sounds fine to me.

OK, lets say one wanted to put together one.

OK, it would be for custom offroad vehicle.

You've left me hanging - what is the point of this message.

sure it does, there's several mfgrs. that build fuse blocks with
extra-long, marked leads for all the common accessories for just this
purpose.  Now what's the best of *those?*  Don't have an answer for you;
the only "custom" vehicles I've had were my old '49 Chev street rod
project, which I threw a wiring harness and fuseblock in from an old
Chevy pickup (worked like a champ, believe it or not, but I sold the car
before it ever got driveable) and my current '55 Stude, which I managed
to salvage the stock wiring harness from (it was originally 6V, so the
wires are nice and beefy.  8 gauge from the generator even, so it should
still be good with my Delco alternator)

I will say this, one wire alternators are a shortcut.  Speedway sells a
little adapter harness with a diode in it to use a 3-wire Delco without
an idiot light.  I've noticed a distinct increase in charging since
switching to a 3-wire.  Voltage still drops off at idle though, and I've
checked my pulley ratio and everything (greater than 3:1 which is what
I've heard to be the guideline,) and the sense wire is connected where
it should be, at the starter solenoid (i.e. the end of the battery
cable) not sure why that is...

Good idea but it's been done before.

Oops, I left out a few lines...

What vendors/manufacturer would you recommend for these components?
What type of wire insulation is the best for such an application?
What style of connector would maintain a solid electrical connection
yet be easy to disconnnect even though it is exposed to water, dirt,
etc.
