Only thing is, those >battery selectors are meant for 4 gauge. Actually two #4 is almost the size of a single #1. However, the battery switches you're looking at aren't specifying #4 cable -- they're specifying 4/0 cable to meet the same spec as the switch (350 amps continuous). That's about the same as five #4s. -- David Beierl - Providence RI USA -- http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage," '85 GL "Poor Relation" ------------------------------------------------------------ + To unsubscribe from the Vanagon List send an e-mail to + listserv@gerry.vanagon.com with SIGNOFF VANAGON + in the body of the message. ------------------------------------------------------------
