What's the model number on the Bussmann fuse box? I want to make sure it's the same size as mine before I buy a mount.

 

this one was 15303-2

 

Do you think you could measure the length and width of you relay box? I couldn't find the dimensions online for our boxes to see if they're the same size before I buy one of these things... Thanks!

 

4.1665 x 2.5

 

I like that but my clutch master cylinder reservoir is next to the brake booster where the bracket mounts.

I've been thinking about mounting my Bussmann box next to my battery (engine side). Would you be able to cut something like this?

It would bolt to the shelf under the battery (the battery would sit on top of it) leaving the fuse box hanging off to the left of the battery.

 

yea i could do something like that. i would need some time to figure it out though. so i wouldnt be able to get to it for at least a week.

 

That would be great. I'm not in a hurry.

If you're going to be brainstorming and you have access to a brake (which it looks like you do), the bracket doesn't really need to go under the battery, it could be bent down 90 degrees and bolt to the side of the battery shelf instead. A single straight sheet like I drew is just the simplest way to mount it next to the battery, not necessarily the best.

 

yea that might be easier to do as hate removing teh battery as then i loose all my presets :lol:

 

Just need to paint and finish some wiring and I'll get it installed!

If you're still interested in tackling a version that sits by the battery, I'm still here...

Still no rush, just letting you know I'm still interested if you decide to make it.

 

I am and crap, i totally forgot about it. sorry about that. let me take a look this weekend and see what i can come up with.

 

No problem, that sounds great, thanks.

 

It's getting there. Slowly buy surely! Haha

All that's left is measuring and cutting a power wire from the breaker to the battery. Then I just have to bolt and connect everything. Should be done tomorrow

 

so looking at that other mounting spot, not sure it would bolt up very well. i need to remove the battery to see if there is any mounting holes under it. will report back.

 

Thanks for looking into it. I'm already planning on having to drill holes so that's not a problem for me. I've been looking at drilling into the battery shelf either from the top (under the battery) or into the side of the shelf facing the engine.

 

I know this thread is almost a year old but can you still make one of these?

 

actually i think i do. i think i have one cut and ready to ship. i will check when i am in the garage today

 

If you do, PM me your PayPal and I'll send payment. Thanks!
