Tuesday - Part 3:

Fuse Box Cover:
I had some magnetic cupboard catches to play with.



So they were fitted to the sides of my aluminium cover.



I ended up using some scrap wood I had laying around to screw into.



A bit of marking up was needed to locate the catches.



I then removed the battery before I started to drill any holes in the battery box.



While this was out I put it on charge just to make sure it was back to full power.

This allowed me to drill 4 holes and see daylight through then instead of battery acid pouring out!



With the catches riveted into place, the cover could be fixed into position.



The good news is that the cover looks great and keeps the fuses out of sight of anyone looking inside the car.

The bad news is the magnets are so weak they could hold the cover in place with the extra weight of the wood.

So the photo above was taken after the wood was removed.
( And I had double checked the clearance from the fixing screws to the fuse box wires. )

Even so, it still doesn't feel very secure to me, so I might try something else to hold it in place.
( As I have a vision of this flying out of the car the first time I hit a bump in the road. )

End of Part 3…
