fuse block up grade?
 
Has anyone done an upgrade on the fuse block to the modern type of two pronged fuses. I remember a kit from automotion back in 96 IIRC, and it was pricy, but I may have a good candidate for this. Just wondering what the rest of yall have done.
TIA

One guy that I corresponded with a few years ago did that. I looked into it, but it looked like geting a fuse block(s) with enough circuits on it would take up too much space, so I gave up on it.

I have a BMW motorcycle that has a block approximately the same size as the 914, but I am not sure of the number of circuits. I cant get to my car very easily as my back yard is flooded. Good thing its up on jack stands;)

Im concerned that the sawsall could potentially puncture the inflatable raft that we would have to use.

The BMW block has spots for 7 in a single line, the 914 has 12. You could put two of the 7 together maybe.

I want to upgrade the fuse block too. I'm looking at the ones at www.autoloc.com . Even though there much bigger than the stock ones. I think it would worth the trouble to make it fit. Especially if you want to upgrade like I want to (pw,pdl,cc,ect.). Plus I like those new fuses that light-up when they go bad, alot easier than having to pull all the fuses to see witch one went bad.

Ralph,
That is exactly the route that I am on. Check out ebay for power window kits, power door lock kits, and trunk release. They are pretty inexpensive.

mike95125 02-28-2003 06:00 PM

Never mind, you already found the least expensive with autoloc, but they advertise on ebay for less than to the general public.

Rog914 02-28-2003 06:45 PM

If you like the stuff on Autoloc, check out www.12voltshop.com and look at the "2 Way Pager Alarm Security" has alot of cool features.
Good luck with your project.

Ralph
