I own a Glastar, built by someone else, that has the battery behind the baggage bulkhead.
The builder ran 14awg wires connected directly to the battery and powering the Electroair ignition and fuel injection boost pump.
I need to add a fuse link to these wires. Can I build the links using the same method as described in the document located in Bobs archives, as long as I size them up to the appropriate rating?
I already have the fiberglass tubing material leftover from my Glasair project. I figured I could just use an 18awg wire for the link.

Just an inline fuse holder will be fine. Rate
the fuses for 2x the max current draw of the
ignition systems.
Do you KNOW what that current level is? 14AWG
wire is obscenely oversized for this application.
