Fuse Block Fix

[87mjdriver]

alright so I picked up a fuse block that is in good condition. I bought it a while ago. knowing that mine would eventually rot out. A few years ago I cleaned mine to prolong it. Well Grime reaper is riding shotgun cause my block is starting to fall apart. the wires are seperating at the fuse connection. so What is the best way to fixx this? I have thought of to ways to approach it.

 

1. start pulling the clipped in power strips in the in service block and transfer them to the new block. just fixing the wires that need it.

 

2. I have new terminals (the terminal bars) on the way. I have about six inches of wire from the new block. clip the wires. put them in new terminals clip them into the good block. pull old block off the bulkhead and clip ALL the old wires and splice them to the tails off the new block.

 

I hope this makes sense, and some one that has done this can chime in.

 

Thanks guys

Ive got about 3" of forward movement when I unbolt the fuse block. What I'm going to do, is 1 by 1, take a terminal, cut each wire 1 by 1 and match it with the new block, but Ive got a twist. I'm remounting the fuse block where the little speaker grille is by my left knee. Water and Clutch fluid will (hopefully) never reach it. Its a tedious process thats for sure. Ive got to extend each wire 1ft.

Ya know after I wrote that post I started thinking how to prevent it. I thought about making a shield out of aluminium, and then thought about relocating too. If you get yours done you should post up some pics.

when ambition and the time to do it arrives, I'm making a writeup for it. Till then, its in someone else's glove.
