Chris, I'm confused! I've used several inertia switches which I removed
from wrecked later MGBs. They've always come with two spade connectors
at one end and you can use whatever gauge wire you want. They've never
overloaded on me. When you buy a new replacement from Moss do they come
with internally attached leads? do you open up the switches? As I said,
I always install original used ones and that way I can charge customers
$20 instead of the $60 Moss apparently wants. Maybe I should charge more
for the ones I have left! Jarl
