I'd like to get some feedback on a wiring diagram that I'm trying to finalize.
Full disclosure: this is for my Panther LSA build and not for an RV, but I do think it would be applicable to anyone that is at this stage in their RV build. If it helps, I have built two RV7s, partnered in an 8, and helped friends with two RV-10 builds. I also try to add value when I can here on VAF. And, for what it’s worth my engine for this build came off an RV-4 that I bought from a fellow VAF member, so my Panther is sorta-kinda RVish. If the moderators still think this is an out of bounds post, then please take it down.
So here is where I am so far. I have taken the Aeroelectric Z-11 diagram and changed it to include a B&C alternator w/ B&C external voltage regulator. I've also changed to dual PMags and a push button start switch.
The questions that I have are:
Do you see any mistakes or issues?
Would you take any of the components that I currently have on the endurance bus off and move them to the main bus? Rationale would help for learning purposes.
How do I figure out the best wire and fuse size for the wire that goes from the battery bus to the ebus switch (that wire will be less than 12” inches in my application)? Aeroelectric shows a 7amp fuse with a 16AWG wire, but my equipment list for the ebus is different, so the amp draw will be different vs the original Z-11 drawing.
Here is the link to my diagram:

Thanks for the help!
