Left it there as in left them wired in and added additional? or left it disconnected and ran your own wires? Sorry for all the questions mate... Much appreciated!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Thanks Darren. Though wouldn't that burn out the smaller fuse/wire still?
...or does 2x 70A = ~140A?

It shouldn't. because the smaller wire will never see fun load, it will always split and the bigger wire will take more as its less likely to suffer voltage drop. on an extreme basis if your winching and your alternator is delivering everything then it will be shared load. The useable link is there to protect the wire and the battery. it should be smaller than the wire it is protecting, everything else in the car is fused beyond this link so is should not be an issue.

Yeah I left the old wire in and is now redundant.
It actually has blown that main fuse but does not matter as I have added my own.
