    Just finished installing my new fuse panel (ebay). It takes the full size blade fuses, so it was taller than I would have liked. I had to modify the right side cover to get it to fit, but I'm happy with the results.
    - didn't have to splice new wire
    - color-coded the four circuits with colored heat-shrink
    - was able to re-use the auxiliary terminals for my future heated vest jack:)

    I was tempted to seal the back side of the panel with silicone prior to install, but decided to let it go for now. Anyone do this? Just to keep excess water out.

    Thanks for all the tips, pics, and suggestions. Helped a bunch. Nice to have a tail light again.

    I sealed the back of my fuse block with epoxy, for some reason I didn't think of using silicone! :lol:
