DIY - Build and install a Bussmann RTMR Fuse/Relay Block

But that makes me think. Can I drill a big enough hole on top to get a wrench in I wonder.

 

If you install all that stuff on the other side the ground buss won't be in the way. Then the relays and fuses will be on top where they're supposed to be.

 

I’m showing the plate upside down just to show the bolt. Relays are in the correct side per the ops instructions. The pelfrey plate has to be installed in a 7 shape format not an L shape. If that makes sense.

 

Just saying it looks like it would work if that was the top. If not then you'll need a box wrench, mirror, and a lot of patience

 

anything yet ??

 

I got it. It doesn't have any room for either of the additional ground buss bars like the OP suggests. Not sure if I can use it like I intended. I'm going to try it this weekend.

 

that sucks. which size mount plate you get? you have any idea for the ground buss bars

 

Is it possible to use longer 10-32 screws for the bussman and stack each buss bar there?

 

subb'd

 

????????

Wicked awesome write up!!!!!!!


Know to decide if I am making one or more of these, or buying something else. I really want to do this, but can not rationalize the upfront investment for just one.

Any one got one for sale? Any one want to buy a built one after I get done? Any one want to work out something so we order parts to help save a few bucks?

Also looking for info a mounting plate, from the last few posts it appears the struggle with this is real.

 

There is a TW member who makes 5 at a time. He gets 5 paid orders the makes the, ships them and starts again. He does good work but has other life commitments so he is not as quick as a business that has them in stock. I will see if I can find his thread.

 

Thanks for the shout out

Lol. Just found your thread and was about to post the link. I bought one and am very pleased with the workmanship. Now I just need to install it!

 

Thanks, already read and checked in, sounds like he is out of production for a bit and has list, if not I think I would be in.

 

If you need one sooner it will probably be more than two months before I am close to ready to install the one I have. I could probably get in on the next available batch and you could use the one I have.

 

hmmm. Thanks for the offer, I'll chew on it. can you PM me what you need for it.

 

Yep. I will continue in the same pm we have going.

 

Just ordered this one so no personal experience yet, but seems to have good reviews.

I ordered the same one and received it already. Looks to be solid quality with plenty of length on all the wires. Just have to research more to install it.
