Are you saying that you used 1 fuse and the rest are circuit breakers?

Summit has a kit made by Taylor of various sizes of wire loom. It was like $15 and is enough to do an entire vehicle. I will be using all deutsch connectors on my harness. They are pricey at about $10 each, but are the best thing out there and fully waterproof. I have built vehicles for the military using these.
