--- Quote from: "Skibum346" ---Check out "Vehicle Wiring Products" web page, they do a modular fuse box system that can carry up to 5 modules. Each module can carry maxi fuses, normal bladed fuses, relays or a mix.

Presume you mean this one.


Cheers Skibum.

ChrisW:
The modular box looks nice but what puts me off is very little of the fuses or relays are standard motor factor off the shelf stuff.
To get a main fuse for the box you need to use a maxi-blade fuse module - one fuse for the box but what do you do with the other 5?
For accessory fusing you have to use mini-blade fuses and for switching it's either micro-relays or forego the space saving and just have space for two standard size relays per module.

You've either got to pay out for a certain amount of spares or wait while replacements are delivered.

Using their RB4U 4way relay mounts and standard sized blade fuse holders would be a much better solution for future replacements as you can still use standard off the shelf parts without having to hunt around.

I bought a water=resistant box from Maplins and fitted some rubber blanking gromets to it, drill the gromet for a wire to go through and it's nice and woterproof.

One work of advice, when you fit a relay inside a plastic box it will get hotter than left under the bonnet, take this into account and always use a relay bigger than you think you need.

M y electric fans cook 30amp fused relays and they have one EACH :shock:
