Pretty simple install. Going to get opinions both ways. I had a wiring rats nest so this was a no brainer. Nothing wrong with a modern fuse set up.

did not take too long, I had a short and some hacked wiring, so it was a good way to clean up the rats nest and prevent a fire or short, and modern fuses , I;m not knocking fuses loose with my knee and you can use the lighting up ones that show up if it blows.
I think its a good idea if you don't need a concours original panel for show. |

QUOTE(ConeDodger @ Sep 24 2018, 08:37 PM) i can attest to that (except at PCA Parade - where a-retentive types look at screw heads & such) just keep track of wires positions & colors (not all harnesses have exactly the same colors that match published diagrams) it is a tight vertical fit - but a superb upgrade |

I have one to fit which I bought from a member on here,then I hear some folks saying the don't like the fact the wiring gets some strain on it due to the position pins on the panel,how real is this issue ? my wiring has no hack jobs and is in great condition but I don't want to fit one and create a problem.
