Thread: Hummm What should I do

Tweet

We have a customer who strung all their network cables in their plant with white tie wraps......eventually, the cables started falling down.....a real pain. I used white ties to install bird netting in the garden and they are starting to break after 3 years.

My Son Dan used an American Autowire kit in his rpu, and while it is a little pricey, it is a nice kit. The fuse panel is well made and heavy duty, the wiring is of good quality and marked very few inches, and it comes with lots of extra parts that you sometimes have to buy elsewhere. The instructions were very clear EXCEPT when it came to the position of the 175 amp fuse they supply for the main circuit. Their diagram shows it in the main battery cable going from the battery to the + terminal on the starter. That is not where it is supposed to go, according to them.

We kept blowing that fuse so I called them and the guy that answered the phone treated me as if I were crazy. He said "No, that fuse is ONLY for the main fuse panel, not the battery cable." I told him I had the instructions and drawing right in front of me and it was CLEARLY in the main cable. He was kinda rude and blew me off, so I don't have much good to say about their phone customer service.

I used a Rebel 9 + 3 kit on my 27 and for the money it is really a nice kit. Fuse block is nice, wiring marked every few inches, and the instructions were equally good. I didn't need all of the circuits, like 3rd brake light, heater, wipers, etc, so I just eliminated them. For the new rpu I am going to build I will buy another Rebel kit with no hesitation.................and, they are friendly on the phone !

I second this. Rebel wiring is good quality at a decent price.
