I have another couple of questions relating to wiring:


1. The wiring diagram in the build manual has a alternator output  
switch (capable of taking 25A). Does the OV crowbar mod take the  
place of this switch?

2. In a 914 fit, one of the fuel pumps is wired directly to the  
alternator/regulator output. In the event of a regulator failure, the  
OV mod prevents the runaway voltage frying electrics/battery. Why  
would it not fry the fuel pump and if it would,  why not wire the  
essential fuel pump directly off the battery - would you not then  
have  a working pump to get the aircraft down.

Or have I got this all mixed up again
