Mike- I noticed a 50A (non Lucas) fuse sitting in the lower position=0Ao=
f the fuse box. Hope when you finish the wiring that a 35A Lucas or a=0A=
15A Buss goes in there. The 50A should go on the battery clips above=0Aa=
nd if not Lucas Brand then use a 25A Buss fuse. British fuses,=0Alabeled=
as such, are 1/2 of the Amp value we use in the US. If you=0Asubstitute=
them with American fuses of equal value they will never=0Ablow when nee=
ded. Just an observation toward safety...Hank=0A=0A=09------------------=
