Fuse and Relay Panel

[1967Valiant]

Ok it has been awhile since I posted, but the Valiant is coming along slowly. I have come to the point where I needed to think about wiring the car and I ran into a problem. If you have ever looked through the premade item's on the net they are nice, but unless you pay a ton for a custom one they just were not up to specs. The only one I found that was close was over 1000usd from a place in the great north. some of the links to the relay boards and wiring are nice, but when you put them in your hand you know why they are so cheap. I wanted a 20 circuit board with 10 relays, and all circuits had to hold 30amps. A lot of people put large circuits and relays in the boxes, but when you pull that kinda amps IE 75 or so it should be wire independently. So I broke out the net did some research and built my boxes. The total size is half of what you can buy with less circuits and relays. The total to build this box minus some tools i needed for the special crimps can be done for under 100usd minus the 49usd, for the encapsulating compound I ordered which in smallest package is enough for 3 box's. So when it arrives I will have a complete water tight box I will never have to worry about burning up or being thrown together by someone that dosent care about my car. FYI i will be covering it with carbon fiber to make it look better.

Please tell me what you think!!

Very good. I see you used some of the Buss / Bussman components

This is where Pauly and I went our ways. I tried to point out that his buddy didn't really make those, and he got all irritated 'n stuff. I certainly considered these, but didn't need "so much."

I ended up using a relay box out of a wrecked Voyager, and it gave me enough for headlights, pump, ignition and silent alarm
