Hi all
Does anyone use these type of fuse blocks?
If so where have you mounted them in cab or under bonnet?
I have brought one of these to tidy up the second battery area.
Any pics of your mount places would also be great.
Just getting myself organised for the CSR in July.

Perfect.

I have one mounted to the fire wall under the bonnet beside the passenger side bonnet hinge. I run a bulk earth to the bonnet Hinge bolt and a large diameter from the second battery to the positive. Great little box.

Thanks Guys
They look pretty good, now just have to find room under the bonnet for it to go.
I like the idea of all the fuses in one place.
thanks Tweaked glad I made a correct purchase the first time around.
Mudrunner what size power cable did you run to it? Is it the same size as the positive from the starter to the 2nd battery?
if so have plenty of that size on hand.

Cheers

That will be fine mate. Use some of that for the earth strap too and just cover it with heat shrink to change colour, You will have no problems with it at all.

I used one of these in the front box of my Camper Trailer as a control box too, works a treat.
