    PO replaced my fuse box with individual blade fuses, they take up all sorts of room. I'd like to tidy it up with a box like I have seen a few members doing here. I found a few fuse blocks that I could use but I want to use the Mini blade fuses. My truck uses the mini fuses and I have a bunch of them already. I just can't find a mini blade fuse box that keeps each circuit seperate.

    I did, however, find this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077D ... WSU1MNB43R

    But it appears that all 4 fuses will be connected together at one point. Is this bad practice for these older bikes? Can I use this with no worries? Or should I keep looking for one that keeps all the circuits seperate? Because, man, I've looked for a long while and can't seem to find one that stays seperate... :(

    Some of those blade fuse boxes will hold mini blades perfectly well. Look at any autoparts store

    That is a power distribution block, not a fuse box. It would work for running power from the headlight hot to run a phone charger or something similar, but not used for multiple circuits.

    You want something like this

    This was just the second item on ebay when searching for "atm fuse box"

    Or get one with more positions for fusing future electrical upgrades.

    I just checked the catalogue and I don't see him listing any mini blade fuses. He calls them mini blade but they are the regular blade fuses. The regular ones are ATO style, I'm looking for the ATM style... Maybe he's saying mini because they are small compared to the stock tubes fuses??

    Rated @ "30 amps per block" - may be an issue
