OK, will do. The wire coming from the starter + terminal to the fan is a big
old 10 gauge one... hopefully I can find one of those huge ol' fuses to go
with it :) The auto parts stores around here are kinda lacking.
I took your advice and ordered a torque angle gauge for doing my head bolts
BTW... this one is electric and buzzes at you when you reach the proper
angle. :)

You'll probably have better luck with a car audio store. They sell inline fuses and holders for all different gauges. Ebay is another possibility.
