The control box now acts as a junction box, and includes a whole-system 60A fuse. This protects the wiring harness including the ammeter.

It is possible that I might be able to legally "de-smog" my 302 after registration, and if so, it was my intention to fit a Lucas C40 generator. I hadn't previously heard of the C40T; I'll have to look into that.

edit: just looked at the pricing....these units are around the GBP500 mark
