There was a recent bit on the Velocity forum to the effect that a 60 amp alternator needs an 80 amp fuze at a minimum. If your alternator is over 75 A, you might want to go to a 120 A fuze. Hmmm. There was discussion on the aero-electric list recently which said the opposite. i.e. a 60A fuse is good for a 75A alternator. I tend to go with Nuckolls when there's conflicting info in electrical stuff. Rusty, it might be a good idea to get his opinion before installing a nail for a fuse. I'll be interested to read his thoughts on this. John Slade ------=_NextPart_000_0021_01C3A69E.4B71F930 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
