Engine drives a B & C 60 Amp main Alt, and a SD-8 as back-up . I wish to install 2 x 17aH batteries as per Bob's drawings and I would like to know whether:- 1) the 2 shunts depicted on Z14 need to be changed to 50mv/60A and ..50mv/10A.?. 2) Klaus Savier recommends 2 x 5A "pull-able" C.B.s....Could I substitute these for fuses of 5A each? 3) Could these be placed as per Z14 , #1 on the Main Batt bus and on Aux Batt. the other? 4) Any other changes I should contemplate, as I would like the engine to start only from the grip of my Infinity stick. 5) I am also installing a GRT HX & EIS 4000..any caveats/advice on any additional systems/relays required on Z14 for these, or those below??

The connector itself is fine, but I can't find the female (I guess that is what you call it) version of the backshells. I was thinking of joining the two with self fusing tape, but there must be a better way. Thanks.

When I assemble them, I leave out of the shell the little mating screws and then just put small cable ties right through the screw holes. Easy, cheap, light and easy to separate later.
