Don Gordon asks about availability of a 60amp circuit breaker for the
alternator....

I went down this road several months ago.  I looked a little and found nothing. Doesn't mean there isn't one.  I have a 60amp B&C alternator on my 360.  After
much discussion in this forum, I elected to install an 80 amp fuse on a 4 gage
wire going to the alternator.  The wire and fuse are well above the alternator
output and if that fuse blows, the wisdom seems to be that you don't want to
mess with the cause in flight. Switching gears was a bit inconvenient because I
already had a 50 amp breaker in the panel from Lancair.  But I'm more
comfortable this way.  Ed de Chazal
