MG TD TF 1500 - fuse sizes

54 mgtf

Moss Motors calls for a 35 amp and a 50 amp fuse in fuse box. Are the fuse sizes right? The existing fuses I found in my fuse box are for less amps.

Which fuse goes from A1 to A2 and which fuse goes from A3 to A4 in the fuse box?

Thanks,

Ed -- The fuse ratings are British ratings and are about twice the USA ratings for the same fuse protection.
So fuses of about 18 and 25 Amps are USA replacements.
I never have figured out which fuse goes where.
Cheers,

British 50 amp = American AGC 30 A3 - A4 (Horns)
British 35 amp = American AGC 25 A1 - A2 (Ignition Switched)
British 30 amp = American AGC 20
British 25 amp = American AGC 15
British 20 = AGC 10
10 = AGC 7.5
5 = AGC 3
etc.

British fuses are rated at their "Blow Point" while American are rated at their carrying capacity
