    OK, I am continuing on building my homemade wiring harness.

    So I needed a fuse box.

    Here is a tip for making a fuse box.

    Go to Home Depot and go to the electrical section. Look at the PVC conduit boxes that they have. They are waterproof and the 5 inch narrow boxes are perfect for an 8 terminal fuse block.

    I have fuse blocks that are bottom connected, so it is a matter of drilling two holes in the PVC box and putting in 10 / 32 countersunk screws in the rear of the box to hold the fuse box as high as possible but still be able to re fasten the top.

    By soldering a jumper wire and connecting one side of each fuse to the next one and then connecting the last one to the IGN side of the ignition switch, you have a set of ganged fuses that you can use to protect anything you want to.
