I got the fusebox from a place here in Brackenfell called Sparxx, I'm sure theres is a local supplier in your area, if not I believe they can ship all over the country, check out there website, it's got all there whole product catalog on it:

On the 8 way version I used I common the one side of the fuse box for positive straight from the battery.

B,

Did you solder all the right hand side terminals to 'common' them or was it bought like that?

Hi ToyBox,

I commoned them myself, I bent all the crimp plug lugs down, tincelled all the lugs with solder... then I stripped back the wire(6mm i think, it's thick anyway) that connects to the battery, so that it was long enough to cover all the plugs... tinselled the stripped wire, laid it across the lugs and soldered the wire onto each lug... I then insulated the exposed soldered wire with a piece of plastic tube cut open length-wise, held in place with clear epoxy glue. The fusebox is mounted on a rubber pad, to prevent any possiblity of shorting.

Great idea :thumbup: - I got one some time back but was not sure how to "common" the one side.
