> Replacement fuse box, Would you buy one?
Would you pay ~$130 for a plug-in fuse box upgrade with modern fuses?

I've got another new item I can offer if there is enough interest - a replacement fuse panel for under the dash.

It would have 15 ATO (modern blade-type) fuses with a strong plastic cover, labels, and fit in the original spot.

Two holes would need to be drilled in the removable panel that the orginal fuse box mounts on, and the original wiring will all plug in (you can go back to the original with no modifications). No cutting of wires required.

There are three extra fuses (stock is 12), probably to be supplied as one "30" (battery power) one "15" (key switched) and one left open for any use.

Unfortunately the fuse blocks to make this happen are NOT cheap, so the price for the whole unit would have to be in the $130 range.

What do you think? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Comments welcome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chatsmiley.gif)
