As much as this sounds like a sin, I would ask Ross to mount your speakers to the body behind the seats so the interior panels don't carry the weight of the speakers. The body panel then needs to be

Number 1 is nearest the radiator. I know what you mean about some manuals. It is even a little more confusing when it is possible to install the distributor drive shaft in two positions, 180 degrees

Just because the alternator is capable of delivering 60 Amps or more does not mean it has to deliver that amount of current, or that you should fuse it to that level. Datsun roadsters are wired for
