New Fuse Box

[v8s4me]

Finally got around to replacing the grotty old bullet fuse box with a new style blade box...



The best bit is, everything still works!

I done my 280 and made a cover that hide all the wires

Good morning v8s4me, I hope you have had a good nights sleep and are raring to get tinkering with your parts
That is a super duper fusebox upgrade that you have completed and I am drooling at all those relays and black wires
In seeing those relays I got thinking of a little job I did a while back. I gently prised the covers off several relays the same as yours so as to see if there was any moisture that had got inside, something that I acknowledged a while back was that any metal/alloy cased relays did in fact suffer from inner condensation, the condensation was created from the cold relay metal/alloy case being in the varying temperature of the underbonnet atmosphere and also the relays not sealed in any way. I polished and laquered the relay cases before putting them back on the relays and although I say it myself the relays did look very pretty when back in the car

Thank you. Actually the car might be up for sale in a month or so once the seats have been re-trimmed. I'm sure you'd enjoy the challenge of an all black wiring loom and "quirky" TVR wiring. So if you'd like some hands-on practical experience just let me know

Thank you for offering me a possible purchase but - I have never and never will buy a vehicle from a friend.
I wouldn't wish to bore you with my tales about all black wiring harnesses

Sorry, but most of them are originals, as is the black wiring.

Now let me tell you about crimped connections ....... ..

And what's wrong with all black wiring anyway ??

There's nothing wrong with crimped connections when done right with the correct tooling and crimps for the gauge of wire being used.
