Fuses

[tom221]

Does anyone know where I can get hold of 25mm glass fuses for my HC Viva? At the minute Ive got a couple of peices of foil shoved in the fuse box because I can't find replacements for a couple of blown fuses. The ones I took out were 50A, I assume they're so high because there are only 4 fuses which everything runs off. I've looked everywhere but the biggest I can get is 40A, and they were too long for the cradle anyway. Does anyone know where I can get some? or even better does anyone have any?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom

I cannot say for certain what the correct fuses are for the HC, but I can guarantee they should not be 50 Amps! That is a massive amount of current and your fuse box will turn to molten plastic before one of them blows !!
Somebody on here can advise you of the correct ratings, and I think most motor factors still sell the 1" fuses in the small prepacks - even Halfruads..... If you are completely stuffed for suppliers I should be able to help out. Drop me a Pm if you cannot source them locally.

HB ones were 35, still probably generous for most of the circuits. Like said, not hard to find from motor factors or older garages.

My 71 HC uses 35A and I got them for 20p each from local motor factor. PM me if your stuck and i will get you some.
