Thanks Jim, Interesting that I found it difficult to find a Type A 30/40A for sale on the web.
I found I could remove the contacts for the block so have changed to type B now. Still it has saved me a wiring job, I was planning to start from scratch with new as I had not done the original wiring on the coupe and did not know how good it was under the wrap.
