I bought the kit from rgm. I imagine the fuse and holder can be bought at an electrical supply house, I'll post a picture of mine later today

I didn't get pics today because of the rain.


Modern junk Charlie.
Generator has voltage cap at 45 amps
alt with external volt reg 1 G has voltage cap at 75 amps
Alt with internal reg 2 G has voltage cap at 95 amps( this one gets hot, and catches fire)
Alt with internal reg, 1 wire has voltage cap at 160 amps


It goes to 6 G, but I'm lost after 3. too new for me, lol
