I was thinking about wedging some rubber pipe insulation around my relay for the coil relay mod to dampen the vibration. Would this possibly cause the relay to heat up and how bad is that? Is there much current going thru it when you are not actually cranking the starter? Jim M

The relay should not self heat significantly, but I have no idea where you plan to mount it.
The plastic tool box is not rubber mounted.... I would mount it off of one of the Battery box mounts (rubber) & also use an extension of some kind so that it has some leverage.
My toolbox still fit in behind.

Okay, I'm not all buttoned up yet so I'll do some more thinking. Also, after searching, I've read both 10 amps and 15 amps for the spade fuse in the in-line fuse holder for the positive line to post "30". I see in my wiring diagram (1100gl) one 15 amp fuse which I think is the main one. I currently have a 10 amp fuse in the in-line fuse holder. Will I be taking any risks by using a 15 amp fuse instead?
