Jack,

I was doing some simple adding in my head when I came up with the 30A number=
.  The unfused standard headlamps are about 4-5 amps each, the parking lamps=
 are probably another 2-3 amps.  I know from personal experience that you ca=
n safely replace the British 35A fuses with American 15A fuses and they don'=
t blow.

Maybe a better way to go would be to fuse the unfused circuits.

Rick

If my old memory recalls correctly out British fuses are rated differently
from U.S. fuses.  British fuses are rated at 35A. That's the blow rating.
They will carry ~17A I believe.  U.S. fuses are rated by the current they
will carry.  I recall something about "slow" blow vs ""fast" blow but don't
remember how that fits the equation.   Can someone verify the horn fuses is
50A?  That's what I have and the 2nd fuses is 35A. Both are Lucas.  Hey,
it's what we did before relays came along.
