loom protection fuse
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..

I'm going to use a 70 amp main fuse for the whole system (excluding starter/alternator.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

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

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

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

Fuses
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
Darren
