internationally known as "big" swede

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

I used a towbar connector, but mounted 2 realys to my headlight bowls for dip and high beam and have a serpate large live going to the starter and a seperate large earth, as my previous towbar connecotr wiring burnt out. ( used to do alot of night driving) teh current draw from headlights can really mess up conecotrs if ther enot 100%.

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Thats a good idea Dennis,

I shall steal that!

Tim, i like the look of those sureseal ones, but the biggest i can find is 4 way, how are you going to wire yours or are you going to use 2?

Dennis, like the idea of that, but connecting up lots of different cables everytime i take the front on and off sounds like a pain in the arse (im a lazy git)

although, for a quick coupling for a big live and earth, one of those anderson plugs might be a good idea:

I've got two "Sureseal" type connectors on mine that i got from ebay - they seem to work well - will find a pic tomorrow....

would this work ok?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Amphenol-8A-250V-7-P...=item2304be0cfc

says its capable of 8A @ 250V, so will that be more or less at 12V?

On full beam, what sort of Amps will a 60W and 100W bulb draw?

(im feeling dim tonight)

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

60W = 5 Amps
100W = 8 1/3 Amps
