[ausev] sizing wire and relays

[MLAB]

Thanks for the directing me to the wire gauge chart.  I reckon I will 
just buy a lot of 10g wire from Breeds and use that.  The analogy to the 
pipes is helpful as well.  I always add extra layers of insulation to 
all my wires for crash safety and the like.

Regarding the relays, it appears from the posts that the main concern is 
how safe it is to switch the relay at full power, while I can likely 
make something smaller do for switching with the throttle off.  But in 
the interest of safety, can anyone direct me to a good source for relays 
capable of switching higher amp DC loads?

I see a variety of "automotive relays" in the Mouser catalog, but these 
never specify DC or AC.  It would be nice if there were such a catalog 
that had DC electric motor users in mind.
