What is the free length of spit and GT6 springs . My spit ones are 20" appx but I see info that says much shorter.
-
Go to a garage and get them to change the oil.
-
It would help me to know the fuses that you are using on theses circuits.
-
Like the idea above,a bit steam punk.

Wireing now complete just checking of fuse rate to go.

As you have guessed I don,t know what I am doing . The plan is to split up the functions of the electrical system and put them on the smallest fuse that will not blow . First was the horn (15amp fuse)(it blows a 10amp) then ignition 30 amp at the moment but is running at a max of a little over 15 amps on start up and blows a 15 fuse after a few starts(so maybe a 20) . I have split the lights front and rear and instruments all on 10 amp (at the moment ) I will check these to see there running loads. The position of the ammeter is in series next to the fuse. What ever you know of these things is more than me . I have used some new wire of sim size or a little bigger ,the lights look a little brighter ,I am guessing because of better earthing and newer less resistant wire ( 40 year old wire can get no better with age).
-
Wired up ignition ,it takes 6 or 7 amps at turn on then 15 at starting then down to 0.0 running, horn reads 0.0 while car is running. but I guess still 15 at the horns. Next lights and guages.

Anyone know about the oil for the Harry Moss London Maserati air horns .It says oil monthly with vaseline oil.
-
Fitted the horns , they run at 15amps (checking ammeter in line),When I wired it up I guessed at 15amp for the fuse ,it does not blow, so I will leave it at that for now.

I think there should be none . Some have a collapsable spacer . You need the diff number .
-
Just read "If current draw is 10amps and cable size is 25amps, then a 15amp fuse is ok ".Sounds good.
-
I got 2 fuse boxes each takes 4 fuses, One could be live and the other live with the ignition. I got 30 15 and 10 amp fuses .So next is what is the rating of the circuits for each fuse .Is it as simple as connect up a big fuse and measure the power used then fit an apropriate smaller fuse. If so how do you measure power used.

I know very little about fuses . So to split into groups, gauges ,lights(head and other) , ignition ,overdrive,wipers, air horns.radio.aux lights.
-
I am re doing my fuse box and would like to know what rateing I will need for each circuit.Maybe 10 fuses.
-
see above ,if you do it like the book you are in with a chance.

Check which way round the 2 sliding clips are .I always check the hynes book and the canley site ,so that the right one is on first and is the right way round .no problems ever .
