Ruby fuses - Tiger - 01-11-2021

I have a few more jobs to complete the Ruby wiring.
Could you please advise on the fitting of additional fuse/fuses
Regards

I always fit a fuse on the wire that goes from the starter motor to the Amp meter that way if something goes wrong
 behind the dash board the fuse blows before the smoke comes out.

Thanks David
What size would you recommend?

It's the smoke in the wires that makes the electric work - When all the smoke comes out, the car stops

20A should be adequate - that's what I fit in my cars. I fitted a fuse box with 6 fuses from Auto Electric Supplies (www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/305/category/63) e.g.
1.  Head lights (16A)
2.  Side, tail & brake lights (8A).
3.  Side (in headlight), dash lights, USB socket (5A)
4.  Indicator/hazard lights (8A)
5.  Horn/wiper/auxiliary (8A)
6.  Dynamo (16A)
