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

Have to find this then. Thanks. Hopefully the set up will be the same

 

Take a look at Bussmann RFRM

 

Will do. Thanks

 

Anyone have extra GXL and TXL wire? I need 20 feet of the GXL in each color (offering $25 for all of them in the 9 colors, calculated based on current pricing) FOUND

Also looking for TXL in Red and black 10 feet (offering $10 for these)

I can go higher if needed and cover shipping. Thanks.

 

Anyone have extra parts they’d sell? I have the parts and number of pieces below. Let me know! Thank you.

 

Delcity sells parts by the each. For the txl you can just use single color and sharpie the ends to color code ground then put extra heat shrink on that one once it's cut to length. Wire barn, Amazon, eBay all have 25' bundles, haven't seen 9-color though(8 or 10 yes). It's likely you'll need way more than just 20' of txl when you start adding accessories.

 

Well for the 10 accessories it called for 10 feet of each. So I doubled that so it would be if I ever got up that high.

Found the GXL wire

 

For anyone wanting to do this in the future and doesn’t want to spend so much on gxl I found some on eBay where they do it in 25’ lengths

 

Have you gone to Wire Barn yet?

Yea. I’m still debating between 11 wires there for 37 and these 10 for 29

 

In between the cab/cap sliders, AOB, various other >3A accessories, and the fact that I'm running all my grounds w/home runs I hope the 100' of awg10 txl I bought is enough. I might put an aux fuse panel in the center console fed by an ignition energized relay for all the ignition on only stuff to keep those separate from the "always hot" stuff fed by the Bussman.

 

" I'm running all my grounds w/home runs"?
What does that mean?

 

Probably means that for each accessory he’s running a ground wire back to the battery or a busbar.

 

As opose to a chassis ground?

 

Yup

 

Right, no chassis grounds. Not big on scraping off paint and running current through the bared metal.

 

Cool thanks
Better ground at battery/ground buss?

 

Tends to be more reliable.

 

You'll get different answers so I'm not gonna preach about it but many electrical issues come down to "bad ground".

 

I agree.....
I have a 67 camaro that had new gages and tack added, then when interior dash lights went on I'd loose gas tank Gage function, it turns out that it was bad ground on oil pr. Gage ....go figure it took a year to figure out
