Gadget and aux power, fuse alternative

Starman · 1st June 2009, 23:42

After splicing into too many cables to get power for different things I went out to buy a piggy back fuse as I didnt want any more chopped up loom..!
but found this.....

Its from Halfords and comes in 2 4 6 and 10/12 gang. The 4 gang here was £6.99 and is big enough for what I have planned, and comes with a lid and a fitted o ring.
I've put a constant fused live from the battery and now all is connected.
I have a multi ciggy power point already on the ign feed, so this new box takes care of the rest and I can leave my loom alone

Not the cheapest, but neat, tidy and all the fuses are in one place now instead of inline floating behind the dash!

There is a coincidence.

I've just started a retrofit of a heated leather interior and I bought the 8-way version of this.

not seen this before but a great little item and given that a piggy back fuse is about £3/£4 not expensive
