We have been working on this product for the past several months. I have waited to post this because we wanted to get it right and some road time as well. I recently have seen some members talk about updated fuse panels similar to the JWest so I did not want to delay this any further.

• Porsche 914 Fuse panel with modern style ATO fuses
• Design is on a circuit board with Glow to blow LED indicator. The LED on the board lights up when you blow a fuse.
• Nylon base which holds the board and OEM or reproduction fuse panels covers (we will be selling the kit with Auto Atlanta covers)
• Aluminum base panel that holds the original relays and mounts to the original points. These will be supplied anodized black
• Sleek minimalist design.
• We will include instruction(video & paper) for installation. Pin arrangement is same as the OEM and no modification is required for the existing harness.
• All fasteners required for mounting included.
• Scheduled for release first week of August.

Price point will be $250-$300 USD per unit. We look at this product being a premium product with attention to detail.

If you're interested in the product please call in, and we can add you to the list.

This looks nice!
Is it a direct one-to-one replacement? i.e. can a knuckle head like me, whose terrified of wiring, be able to follow some basic instructions to install it and still be able to start the car when finished?

Yes 100%, anybody with little wiring experience will be able to install these with ease. We want to make it as easy for the installer as possible, so we will provide instructions and a video.

Like Henry Ford, will they come in any color as long as it is black? Nice product.

Does it fit early cars with the hot terminal on the side?
I've seen aftermarket replacements touch that terminal and put 12V into the metal backing plate and/or dead short the battery to ground.

Well that explains the pattern of sale items... glad I waited. This has been on my list for a while. I just dislike intensely the old style fuses. Made worse when I had electrical issues with no replacements to be had anywhere I was near. Guess I could have paid through the nose and overnighted some. 250 Canadian, what's the exchange rate now?

Good point. Had that problem with an Engman panel.
I moved the hot block to the other side it mounts to to correct the problem.

Peter, great concept and looks good quality, obviously a lot of effort to design and produce these. Kudos. A couple of questions:

* Will your fuse panel body fit the factory mounting plates if we drill the end holes?

* Similarly do we need to use your mounting plate or can we use the factory plate? Asking because there are at least 4 different factory plates which hold different arrangements of the relays and your plate does not match any of the factory hole patterns.

* Please describe how your fusepanel busses those certain specific circuits together as on the factory fusepanel, as the busses are not evident in the photos posted.

I just noticed that myself. Looking at our factory fuse panels the edges are rounded off.
