Update 3 Post
I've been rewiring my car for the last few weeks and part of that was replacing the factory fuse panel with one that uses modern fuse from JWest Engineering. I was unhappy with the existing relay sockets that I found. As a result of that, I designed and printed a monolithic fuse socket for all the relays, buzzer, and flasher unit. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-20837-1493568735.1.jpg) After mounting it to the fuse panel. The buzzer is a Hella H35394001. The horn, blower, and fog relays are Hella 933332051. The flasher unit is a Hella 009492101. The head light relay is a modern reproduction of the VW one. Still waiting on the flasher unit to ship. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-20837-1493568735.2.jpg) I'll be posting the STL files, Bill of Materials, and instructions after I've worked out a few kinks. I would love any feedback or suggestions on improvements. |

Thanks for the input everyone. I have a drastically different approach to the problem than my original design. It should end up being a much better permanent solution as well as lowering the overall cost. I'm also working on replacing the existing fuse block as well with one better suited to the cable organization. I should have a couple units ready to test in a couple weeks if anyone wants to be a guinea pig.
