I can't remember why Thomas..... I think it must have been because I didn't have a spare fusible link so put in a FC fuse instead..... good spot! I've got plenty of fusible links now so I'll swap it over. th:

Thanks Pete, I might not sell it yet but I don't really have the space for loads of classic cars longterm. I'll see what the economy is doing after the lockdown finishes, If we go into recession and values drop then I'll just keep it.
