Hello all, Many thanks for the generous responses. >From DAVE:) > > Here's an idea that I have been turning over for a few years. In my motor, > there is an unused pulley behind the fan housing.

I think a little fabrication here and there and this would work perfectly. I just removed the ac stuff and was thinking of converting it into a fancy shmancy heater, but I'll ask more about that later. With regard to the ammeter, I want to find one with a digital sender ($$$) so that I can keep track up front. (ANY IDEAS?) I also want to have a seperate reading for each circuit (ala Aircraft technology). Anybody have an address for aircraft/boat sales places; I don't find alot of this stuff in Iowa.
