Eric, I use a 200A resetting breaker, I think mine is made by Pheonix Gold,
see here:

It has worked well, and makes disconnecting the battery easy when performing
work on the car, mine is mounted to the firewall:

As part of my turbo swap on my 4kq I moved the battery to the trunk.  I
took care to route the cable where it could not rub on any metal edges,
but I am still paranoid about getting a short some day way down the
road.  A short would be worse since the cable runs through the passenger
compartment.

My question is this.  Has anyone found a good way to "fuse" the battery
cable.  I know some OEMs use fusible links on the battery cables, but I
have not found anything like that at a parts store.  I looked to
industrial options and a large enough fuse block and fuse gets a little
expensive.  I also thought about using a short section of smaller wire
near the battery, but the connection between the different sizes might
be tricky.

Anyone have ideas?  I am using size 1 cable and I would like to put this
weak link (fuse) right near the battery.

Thanks for the help!
