[Spridgets] keep blowin' fuses....whassup?

[brown dan]

My midget, mgb, and TD are all 35 amp fuses.  I buy them and put at least 5
spares in every vehicle.  That is the original setup.
 
However many of us modify things for a safety factor like putting in relays
for headlights on separate fuses.  There are a lot of articles and a book on
how to make improvements to the infamous Lucas system.
 
And like everyone who knows history, I carry a fire extinguisher with me.
 
Godd Luck,   Dan

I could not find any fuse values in any of the diagrams in any of my manuals. 
What's up with that?? I only recall a thread out here not too long ago that
someone found some 17A fuses from a tractor that were exactly what was
recommended for his car (can't recall where he found that info).  So I stuck
in a 20A and crossed my fingers!  Where does one find out what exactly goes
into the fuse box for all the connections if not the freakin' manual??

> '78-79 Midgets had an electric temp gauge...

Which is why I prefaced my remarks with "According to my wiring diagrams" ;-)
Ya know, I knew he had a rubber-bumper Midget with a 1275 substituted,
but that was as much detail as had stuck. I mistakenly thought it was
a 75 or 76, so I looked at those, too. The last-gen wiring diagram is
such a mess (because of the electric temp gauge?) that I really did
not feel like analysing it.
