Hi Eric Got the capacitors today but no time yet to install and test. (For the record cost here in Australia for the 10UF was $20.00 and I found the best place to get them was from an Electric Motor

We recently replaced our bumper with one sourced from Amel. There was a 2 year wait for this part but finally we got one. Being an Amel original part it was a easy 20 mins job to replace. Cost was

If you place a zinc on the manifold and also leave the manifold connected to the bonding system, that zinc will be the closest zinc to all items in the bonding system and will deteriorate before the
