Hi All,
A little mod I did on Saturday... with all the accessories requiring power and fusing, i decided to install an 8 way fuse box...
So far I have the following connected:
EFi - 2 fuses
CB Radio
CD/radio...
4 more spots available for future goodies...

Re: Accessory Fuse Box
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:

Re: Accessory Fuse Box
B,
Did you solder all the right hand side terminals to 'common' them or was it bought like that?

Re: Accessory Fuse Box
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.

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