Ok, tell me if I am right but it looks like a simple pull and plug solution? If anyone has done this, answer a couple of questions for me before I proceed. Now, the double spades are used in place of the spade above and below the old ceramic type fuses? sp they plug into each single spade on the new box?
I just hate to see my wiring get fried....looks like a rats nest anyway. Is there any difference between the JWest and the Engman type fuse box upgrade? Michael |

I put a JWest fusebox in my six. It really is a plug & play process & should take no more that 2 hrs. Rule # 1: disconnect your battery. The only problem I encountered was the length of the stock wires in the harness going to the fusebox. I wound up leaving the bottom row alone & used short 2" to 3" extensions on top. ONE AT A TIME. Do them right & dont use additional connectors. I just snipped off the spades that were there, peeled the insulation back enough to splice & solder an extension onto the wire, put a new spade on the end. ONE AT A TIME. Don't use electrical tape to insulate your solders... use shrink wrap. Voila, modern fuses & you can get rid of the old ceramic ones. Unless your into concours... then sell the JWest fusebox & stay old school.
