Where and which 40 amp in-line to buy

[Nomad2day]

I started hooking up some of my wiring tonight and the threads on the circuit breakers broke free and started to spin. I know a number of people changed out to in line fuses. What brand and where to get them is what I need to know...How many do you need to install? 2?
Thanks,
Neil

I would guess one, I've put the auto reset style in auto on elect bracks for trailer towing, will reset automaticallily when curcit in not over loaded, I get them @ trailer sales centers, wont have to worry with fuses, just my thought

GAS posted a linky a while back, and I went there. However it was an ebay deal for about 5 bucks with a free fuse. Try the link below, that set up looks like the one I have on my bike.

Breakers do not react fast enough for sensitive electronics. They work great for trailers, fog lights, and other accessories, but computer equipment I'd say they are a No-No.

Do yourself a favor and go to Advance Auto Parts Storeand get a Mini ATM fuse holder, it has 12 gauge leads as well and doesn't take a lot of space.

why does bdm put a breaker in there then? not saying that eather is right or wrong but why would mfg install a breaker, the breaker only controls the charging system dosen't it? comes from vr to supply batt.

Neil I put 3 on my bike when I switched over to the wire plus deal and was able to find them at radio shack as well. But the biggest I have seen was only 30 amp. which is all I needed for my application.
