I had previously added a GFCI outlet to my Westy with the circuit breaker. I may be wrong, but I thought when I looked at the breaker it seemed to be a pretty standard part that you could get at a better hardware or electronics store. If you remove the breaker, then you have a hole to deal with.. Although it might be cool to have a breaker and a small 120V voltage gauge in the lower panel. regards, Todd '88 Westy -------------- Original message -------------- From: Thomas Jefferson Kitts <thomas@thomaskitts.com> > Todd: > > That is the sort of thing I originally had in mind to replace the > stock circuit breaker.
