Mike,and everyone else,
                                      Please beware. Lucas fuses are rated
differently from U.S. fuses. A Lucas 35 amp fuse says 17 amp continous. This
is equivilant(sp) to a 17 amp "BUSS" fuse. A 35 amp"BUSS" fuse will allow
every wire in your car ,with the exception of battery cables,to fry without
blowing.This is why I think you hear of so many wiring system burn outs.
                                                  Bob Harris
