mk1/2 Escort fusebox upgrade?

[anonymous-user]

My Fisher Fury kit car uses a Ford Escort mk1/2 7-fuse fusebox with the continental style fuses and bullet connectors , with the 2 standard Ford black plastic plug blocks on the back. Those continental fuses are proving a bit unreliable so I want to upgrade to use blade fuses.

Does anyone know if there is an upgraded or more modern fuse box available anywhere that will plug right onto the Ford plugs?

The fuse box and plugs are identical to this one:

Great thanks for the info, the part number indicated that it came from a Ford Escort RS2000 as far as I could tell, but yeah as you say I can't find a straight replacement anywhere.

I've replaced it yesterday with a blade fuse type from Car Builder Solutions that I bought just in case there was no "proper" swap, took me ages to do as I'm pretty paranoid about electrics, but amazingly (to me at least ) the car fired up and ran with no issues, so hopefully it will be much more reliable now.
