upgrading alt.. wiring

[bigandbadranger]

so ive been upgrading most of my wiring and come across the main harness from the alt to the sylinoid(sp) . when it gets to the sylinoid it gos into this protective jacket were it y's into the sylinoid. can i just cut the protective cover off of it and go to the bigger wire or what?..... also looking at the wiring i see what looks like a fusible link on one of the ends of the wire. can i get ride of that and run the biger wire also or can i piggy back it.............................

There is no need to replace the alternator wiring; just add to it.
