Yeah we sell those 'Stud type' auto-reset circuit breakers at work for about $9 each. I've run all of my accessories in the car ie: driving lights and so on through these circuit breakers and its possibly the best thing i've done, i'd never go back to fuses. :)

Current Projects: *Offroad Racing MY Touring Wagon.
* EA82T Jap spec L series Wagon.

Previous rides: *Supercharged EJ25 Rwd Brumby
* 2 x 91' L series Ej20, 3 inch lift, mud tyres.
01' Liberty B4.

Yeah those auto reset C/Bs work a treat. I used a 50amp jobby for my car stereo amp. So much better and discrete than those wanky gold plated widgets.

'stud type' ? But did you use these for the fuse links ? I have seen blade fuses that are resettable - must order some to settle one little curiosity

They last for near quarter of a century, so not bad for a little thought of 20 cent part that works every time you at least start the beast. Might not be 20c by the time you buy a new one though :)
