17 amp for the window switches as they do draw a lot of power. hazard switch will need a mix of 17 and 8 amp as far as I can remember, basically just make sure it looks the right size, and do one wire at a time unless you make up little extension looms and label evry wire properly.

17 amp for all of it sould do, but if any of the wires are thicker than that get some of the same thickness. Yeah still got the nova, picking up a gearbox for it tomorrow, still thinking about breaking the astra though as it's really getting in the way now.
