1969Fstback 58 Report post Posted November 26, 2015 After searching for hours I found 1 for 35 bucks. Seemed high. This one cost me 58 cents and took less than 10 mins to make. I am adding a supplemental fuse box. The accessory bus bar will have an inline fuse to a relay. I am going to run a hot from the battery to the input of the relay and the output to the new fuse box. So there should be minimal amps. With that said anyone see an issue with it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlife 814 Report post Posted November 26, 2015 There is no fuse involved in the picture. In addition, that accessory post is designed for only a 20 amp current draw, so using it as a relay is probably OK. I sell the accessory fuse buss bar for $15 plus shipping: http://www.midlife66.com/harnesses/products.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GypsyR 32 Report post Posted November 30, 2015 It looks a bit funny? But no, no real problem. And extra credit for creativity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969Fstback 58 Report post Posted December 2, 2015 yeah it does look odd no doubt. But it was the simplest thing I could think of without spending hours fabing. I didn't know midlife had a website let alone made these. If I had then I'd probably just went with his. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j69302 11 Report post Posted December 4, 2015 Those 58 cents are going to be the most expensive 58 cents you ever spent the second your car catches fire and burns to the ground. Here is a better way, using actual electrical components and not cotter pins... It might cost 4x the price at a couple of bucks. Bought these fuse holders at radio shack, broke one end off, put a wire terminal on it. Having just seen midlife's link, I would just go with that instead.

1969Fstback 58 Report post Posted December 4, 2015 Enlighten me on how it will catch fire? As I stated above, I will hook a relay with an inline fuse to the stud. I see no difference between what I have and what you have. I looked at doing the same thing, but could not figure out an easy way to secure the new clip to the block. Thus, afraid it would keeping pulling the other end of the fuse from the block. The cotter pin is stiff and with a tap on the stud will not pull away.
