I am starting to think these may be the best way to go.
insulated heat shrink connectors along with one good ratcheting insulated connector crimper, for all male, female and butt connectors 22-18, 16-14, 12-10. vs bouncing from tool to tool, depending on size of connector and style of connector. pic is of an low dollar partially insulated connector, not a fully insulated heat shrink style connector. also good to know that the bump on the crimper should be on the opposite side of the seam on the connector. but you guys already knew this : ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS_YS-F9Z2E this also looks like a handy tool to have as well for the heavy guage stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxavPsio2iw Attached image(s) |

MTA in Italy make some very nice parts that would be ideal for putting together a new fuse box.
Sadly, nobody seems to carry much of their line here. You can get some of their fuse and relay carriers from Hella, but all of the fun stuff like their modular fuse box system, or the battery terminal-mounted fuse blocks are unobtainium unless you feel like ordering from the UK. I have their 16-way fuse block snapped to a 7-way relay block that I was going to use on an '02; I'm still tossing up whether to use the JWest panel and keep all my planned changes separate, or resell it and integrate everything. A few more fuses and relays would come in very handy... The Blue Sea Systems' SafetyHub 100 also looks like something that would go well up close to the battery; I want to rip out Renegade's fan power run in the longs, but that means I need another 30A under the dash, and that in turn means a new power run from the battery, which really ought to be fused at the source... Can you tell I spend too much time planning this? |
