I have the original parts catalogs, but cannot find fuse information in it, and back then the regular manuals were very limited in detail. |
Yeah . . . my tour of duty didn't begin
for another 8 years. Lots of changes took
place on documentation.
Did this airplane originally have all fuses
on the bus . . . with holders that look like
this?

They were already using breakers by the time
I got there but I don't recall when the change
took place. Your breaker protected cigar lighter
may well be an after-market mod . . . in which
case you're not on really thin ice to simply
replace the breaker with a 10A device and insure
that connecting wires are 18AWG or larger.
