why waste the time adding the fuse box.........just use wire from one nut to the other.

when a fuse blows, what do you replace it with?

a. A larger one

I love the exposed wire...very purposeful looking

is wire tape included? can we shrink wrap it instead? Would look cleaner

Seems legit to me. After years in the Car Audio world, thats probably one of the nicer setups I've seen. The guy even used electrical tape and a fuse.

Wow - that's crazy looking.

Sharif you should start making a scrap book of all the crazy dumb witted fixes you see on the cars flowing through your shop,... Keeping the cars anonymous of course

))

You know, we now have this dangerous fuse issue, that creepy looking rats nest of vacuum tubing,.... oh, almost forgot --> LEAKING FUEL CELL LINER DUE TO WRONG FUEL PUMP MOUNTING BOLTS INSTALLED,... remember the poor sob with that problem

))))
