Hi Boots
Thanks for the input mate.
Think I am progressing backwards now. Went back to the store and handed over my .5w resistors in exchange for 5w, Guy at counter looked down on me with an expression that could only translate as "Bloody newbie"
Also realised I had got the wrong bridge rectifiers with the spade terminal so asked said counter person if I could exchange these for pin type legs, he says to me you can't get bridge rectifiers in 35amp with pin legs, yeah, chimed in counter person number 2, thats too much voltage for the pin legs to handle, thats why these spade terminal rectifiers are made.
I know you can get these type of rectifiers but I didn't see the sense in arguing, so I got a refund on the rec's I already purchased and walked out kind of despondent.
I now have a bag of components that amount to some resistors, some heat sinks to go on the rectifiers I no longer have, a pack of diodes and some heat shrink.
I think I will just order the whole kit from big daddy and wait til it gets here.
