Cable sizes

[Dan Howarth]

Hi guys. Just to let you all know. My new volvo fuse board is in and it all works. Total price= £2 in the charity box for the board and approx £10 on 27amp wire from halfords. The cable is thicker than any on the car so it should be fine. Oh and 1 bag of butt crimps and one bag of spade conectors from Screw fix £6. The job was quite easy although i did have a severe lack of blood left in my legs after being squashed into the car behind the passenger seat for an hour or so. Pins and needles with avengance followed. I have a small enough board to fit back in the electrics compartment so i didn't have to use the flux capacitor sized box behind the passenger seat idea. I wrote lots of notes on colours of wires and fuse numbers and stuff and i labeled all the wires so everything went back in fine. Not as daunting as i thought it would be though but it does give me an aprieciation of auto electricians and how clever they must be and how double jointed they must. All the best.
