Mr Quinn EBAY is your friend, here's a link to some of those connectors that the listing says fit from 8 to 12 gauge wiring https://www.ebay.com/itm/50A-Battery-Charger-Power-Terminal-Plug-Quick-Connector-Winches-Forklift-2pcs/173901459445?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D57476%26meid%3Dcd828cabb9424ced99ac323b034b3066%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D283387237856%26itm%3D173901459445%26pg%3D2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851" rel="nofollow - link It's kinda like an aptitude test assembling them, I can do it so you'll have no problem. Buy 2 extras just in case  You have to crimp the connectors on to the wire The fuse would go on the positive side, cut the wire and put the fuse in. You could probably find a fuse and ring terminals locally pretty easily and you could get ring terminals to fit the fuse holder that way. Maybe Pete will stop at Auto Zone on his way home and check for ya' What's the full load amp rating on the motor? I'd get a fuse sized for that rating or less. The connectors are good for 50 amps |

He has a well equipped tool box too. Might not help with the job at hand (no pun intended) but it will get him through it.  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Chris, I also recommend sweating (soldering) the connectors besides crimping. Trust me, I've been there.  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Chris, You mention the motor is a 40 amp. I'm assuming that's the FLA (full load amp) rating so, I'd go with a 60 amp fuse. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Thanks for the assist boys, Ken those connectors actually snapped in quite easily, ended up finding the correct gauge at HD, same as the pic above with the rubber boots. Still using the old fuse as I have not found one locally yet. Pete do I really want a 60a fuse not a 40a or less as Ken mentioned? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1143" rel="nofollow - Mi Bowt |

Chris, Fuses are always sized over the FLA of the load especially with motors that have an inrush current when starting. Depending on the type of fuse used determines the % of the oversizing. The fuse is there to protect the wiring more than the motor. If your lift never gets to the FLA of 40 amps and the fuse is holding, keep using it. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
