Looking at the headlight upgrade with relays, I've seen mention of running circuit breakers. I like the idea, but I have a question. Should it be the ones that auto reset or ones I have to reset?

daverod · 09-20-2011, 09:35 PM

That's sum good lookin wood u got there.

I'm watching the wiring, thats my next project.

American Autowire doesn't say anything about a circuit breaker. That orange fan wire is fused. But you can install a 40 amp circuit breaker like this. I'm doing the same thing right now with the 57 Panel. I found these diagrams from Vintage air.

Sorry I got distracted for a minute.

I have always used the auto resettable style . Generic style circuit breakers from NAPA. I cannot say any of them have ever tripped after the installation so they must work.. remember to properly size them to the load , oversized fuses is not always better.

My thought is if the fuse pops there is usually a good reason for it. If it keeps trying to reset could it cause more damage?

Thanks for the pic Dennis, it might come in handy. I was asking about the circuit breakers that automatically reset on the headlight circuit.

The headligt upgrades I have read about in the FAQ section shows 30 amp breaker or fuse.

Another project rolled in today. LINK It's a 65 GT Fast Back 4 speed. It has been sitting for 15 years in a shed and they just want to get it running for now.

Thanks, and your right. I don't think we will ever change. Were too sit in our ways.

Got the wood sit in the bed and the main bolts dropped in. Still not happy with the wood. That's all it gets. Something I thought I could make perfect just didn't happen.

4dranch · 09-24-2011, 09:46 PM

I agree Alan its not really looking that good, I say start over and let me know when you throw it out..

Really Alan it looks really sharp, nice job

flips72 · 09-24-2011, 10:00 PM
