Hello Paul,
There's something about the ratings of those old British fuses that's odd. They
are IIRC slow blow so not rated as we would normally think them.
I know BugEyeGuy sells a dummy regulator )for use with a GENERNATOR with a 50A
fuse link. I have one. .. On the other hand fuses are to protect the wires, not
the devices that utilize the power. So what is the size (and thus the amperage
rating of the wiring? I think that largest other than the starter is 14, (15A
capacity in house wiring) but even if it's 12 that's still only 20A. .. On the
other hand the starter is wired with #4. That's 100A house wiring and a typical
starter in an MGB (from my quick research) is over 250A.
All that taken into account, I think BugEyeGuy has it correct and the 50A fuse
link has never cause me any problem.
(here's where I mention that I put my STEBEL horn on it's own fuse as it draws
18A. 125db IIRC.
