The cover of my fuse box is missing. I can buy a new cover from Sierra Madre or get a new fuse panel. But Jwest doesn't have it at the moment and Pelican neither. I could buy a 12 way fuse box on Ebay but I'm not sure it will fit
I have had no electrical issues, so what would be the best thing to do? |

I actually have a couple Engman panels that I purchased when he was still around still sitting in the box he shipped them in. One, because I read about interference/shorting issues with them on early cars and two, because none of my 914s actually have a problem necessitating the replacement so i never bothered to dig in and see for myself. For that matter most of my 914s are missing the stock fuse cover and they seem to get on just fine. |

QUOTE(JamesM @ Dec 11 2017, 11:20 PM) If it aint broke... It was broken by design when compared to the options we have today. I'm not a klutz, but I've knocked the stock chicklets out a couple times over the years. It's no fun putting them all back in the right order when you need to get somewhere. The last time was the trigger to upgrade to a blade fuse box. It's simply better. Unless you are a concourse weenie, it's a no-brainer upgrade. |
