Adding a fuse to main live feed


Recommended Posts

Seems only sensible. I'll get a mega fuse holder with ring terminals to do the job, but what size fuse would be sensible to use?

Assume a fairly standard setup, with radio. Other accessories (spot lights, ARB compressor, eberspacher) will be separately fused.

How big is the wire downstream? before it leaves for the other fused feeds?

I added a twin mega fuse block to the bulkhead when i did the 300tdi conversion for this reason, I'd have to dig the circuit diagram of which fuse is which as the main brown into the dash area was previously unfused.

I tried to replicate the later blade fuse wiring aux fusebox from the 300tdi era

The fuses I have fitted are 60A and 80A fed from the starter motor one feed is 80A the other is 60A protected. Think the wire is 4 or 6mm from memory
