Plus2 130/5 Correct Fuses

[Lottyone]

I have a 1973 Plus2 130/5 that has been rebuilt including the fitting of a new electric loom. A new Fuse Box is also fitted which only accomodates four fuses as standard.
I have followed the factory wiring plan but have two questions that l have been unable to get definitive answers to from Lotus Parts Suppliers.
1. What were the original recomended Amp size glass fuses for the four fuses required ?
2. The wiring diagram shows that two of the fuse mounting poles in the fuse box have an in built link on the input ends of fuse holders. The new Fuse box l have specifically for the S130 model does not have this link plate. The old fuse box removed does however have this link plate fitted. During the fitting and testing of the new loom l have simply mimmiced the plate by fitting a 17amp wire loop between the two poles.
I have been unable to find a new Fuse Box with this link plate ready fitted . If l have to leave a loop wire fitted what would be the safe amp size wire to use. I am nervous about the loop wire used effectively becoming another fuse so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Have you checked the owner's handbook?

I have checked both the Owners Handbook and the Workshop manual but not found any reference to the four fuse sizes required.
The same applies to the Fuse Box Link Plate but one Lotus Parts supplier advised that they have simply used a piece of 10 amp wire to mimic the link. That sounded a little scary to me.

As far as the fuses are concerned, all mine are 35A. This is also what Paul Matty say they fit to their cars when I asked the same question. Wether this is correct for the actual current draw for each circuit the only way to tell for sure would be to measure the draw...
