Might be worth mentioning : The fuse ratings given in the Triumph manuals
use an odd rating system that results in values roughly twice what American
fuses use.  You can buy reproduction Lucas fuses from the usual suspects;
but if you use an AGC type fuse, it needs to be roughly half the value given
in the book.

So, for example, where it calls for a 35 amp fuse; use an AGC 20.  An AGC 35
is effectively no fuse at all, since the wires will melt before the fuse
does.
