What is this?

Postby Faron » 07 Mon Aug, 2006 10:26 pm

What in the world is this?

Is it worth the money?

If it is where do I get one?

Will I be able to do everything I want with it? You know all the stuff for legal & a nice sound system?

I have a Painless wiring fuse block in mine. Very nice but...BIG. Talk to Murzi and get his drawings for one like that. Small and compact.
The 12 circuit Painless is probably more than you need but the quality of their stuff is excellent. They are located in Ft.Worth and have a website if you want to research them more. Like I said, the only issue I have with mine is that the fuse block is big, almost too big (dimensionally) for a buggy, makes it hard to hide.

We have the Painless 12-curcuit block in our buggy. It fits just fine on the firewall just above the pan hump. I wanted to get away from the old style German fuses and go to a readily available ATO style fuse you can pick up at most convenience stores. I like the Painless product as it gives you an always hot side, and an ignition switch-on side in one unit, and has enough curcuits to run most anything you need in a buggy, including turn signal and hazard relays. Only thing is, it's a bit pricey at just below $100, but I feel well worth it. :D
