Heater blower - how many amps?

[chuggers72]

I'm rewiring my heater blower with new resistors from Brickwerks - anyone know how many amps it draws? Just want to use the correct new cables.

I'd probably go for 2mm thin wall (25amp) or even 3mm2 standard (27.5amp) as standard 2mm2 is rated at 17.5amp so a bit close to the 12amp draw of a new motor.
You don't want the wires getting warm or the extra resistance not allowing the fan to spin at full power.
