[Mgs] Fuses

[Paul Hunt]

Simply changing the fuse rating won't do anything, you could put a six-inch 
nail in and nothing untoward would happen ... *until* you get a 
short-circuit.  If a 35 US fuse has a 70 amp blow rating then whilst the 
wiring might get a bit warm in the event of a *partial* short (a full short 
is going to blow that fuse just like a correct fuse) it is unlikely to burst 
into flames, people put 80 and 100 amp alternators on MGB wiring, which will 
deliver those currents if asked to.  Nevertheless the correct rating 
*should* be used.
