So, I will take the junction by the drivers headlight, and run all those wires into a terminal block that I will mount where you did. Then, I will take the power to my fans that is currently on the battery and add a 30amp fuse and send it there as well. Then the little adapter at the back of the alternator that you show.
Now you're talking.
How are your fans controlled? It sounds like you have to turn them on with the toggle switch when you see the temperature climbing. If so you should add a temperature switch to your intake or to the right cylinder head to turn on the relay when the temperature reaches the preset. Probably 185 or 190*
Super easy to do and you will have to rewire the relay with the power wire and the 30 amp fuse inline.
Just post up and I'll walk you through it if you want me to. VV
