Greetings,
I'm closing in on my wiring adventure, and am trying to get everything pre-planned. I've got the wiring kit that Van's sells, and see that it shows 35 or 60 amp alts, but both show a #8 wire.
According to the article on Electric Bob's site, #8 isn't large enough for 60 amps. Are people commonly using this without any difficulty, or are you upgrading those wires to #4 or so when using a 60 amp alternator?
