Probably should have put one in 1st time round, i'm nearly finished the re wire front end i thought i would this time.

Question is what rating ?

I've got one of those strip fuse links for the job and it has a 30 amp strip in it,would this be ok.

I once had a renualt 25,and the main fuse went,we could not find it anywhere,until it started to get dark and i flicked the ignition,we saw a small spark coming from the front engine bay by the headlights,,anyhow it was rated at 30amps..

Thanks graham, i bought the fuse some years back and thought it was good enough.

I'm going to use a 70 amp main fuse for the whole system (excluding starter/alternator.

30A is a little small for a main fuse IMO. I would use a 50A

rover metro and 200 series are a good source for a small mega fuse block
think it holds up to 4 big blade fuse's
and is quite neat, and the mounting clip is easily attached to the battery clamp bar

allows you carry a spare or too as well

Vauxhall vectra mk1 is my source of loom fuse,
box by battery containing 5 x 60A maxi fuses, 1 20A fuse.

For your first try of the loom use a battery charger as these are limited to 8A max.

Almost finished my loom, has anyone used the modular rockers on their car - are they sva compliant?

Thanks
