The two fuses on a Bugeye are British 35A, but not everything is fused.  One=
 is for the horn.  The other fuses the turn signals, brake lights, heater fa=
n, wiper motor, and the fuel gauge.   The headlights, parking lights, and ig=
nition system are not fused.

So I would try an American spec 30A fuse or breaker.  But that's just me.  :=
