Birdman Fusebox cover

Cool

 

SWEEET!

 

Wow! Nicely done. And willing to donate the 3D model! You are an amazing member of this community.

 

I've just taken delivery of my new fuse boxes from forum member Samsaprunoff. They're really nicely made, one in black and the other in white as per original but take modern blade fuses.
They also accept the original covers and are keyed so that you can't put the wrong cover on the wrong panel.
I currently have the Birdman fuseboxes fitted, but the previous owner didn't do a very good job and I don't like the glass fuses.

OK, we need more information about these blade fuse boxes.

 

After I bought Birdman's Fuse Blocks and installed them, I made up the graphics for the circuits, made up a set of decals and fixed them to the Trim Cover. This is because Jonathan's Fuse Blocks do not have covers. With the glass fuses they did not need covers. I think they could be used for these covers. They may need to be adjusted in size, but I am sure that could be done very easily. If interested, let me know and I will attach / send a file here. Let me know, as I sent a copy to Jonathan already.

 

Here is a picture of the graphics. I have the file and can send it when someone contacts me.

A nice addition to a great product...

 

Sorry folks! I made a mistake and posted a couple of images of the RHS Fuse Block 3 times! Here are both RHS and LHS Fuse Blocks Graphics.

Good day

Indeed, nicely done!

Cheers,

Hey Chris, awesome cover! Can they do it in a clear material like the original?

 

Having clear covers is of no real value over opaque covers because the labels prevent you from seeing the fuses in any case.

I've installed Sam's fuse boxes and fitted them with LED blade fuses, so that if one blows, it will be readily visible.

The white & black thing - what's that all about? I think my gt4 has both the same colour but I can't remember which.

 

Mine on my 308QV were both black like this:

After my Birdman fuse upgrade, what I did was make my own version of the decals and put them on the inside of the dash cover panel along with the relay diagram.

 

Mike,

I was referring to the actual fuse panels, not the labels. The labels are both black as you can see.

Paul

 

Oh -- I hadn't noticed that. My originals are in a box in the garage

 

You are absolutely right. But by that same logic, having covers at all is of no real value. The covers were originally designed to prevent the OEM fuses (with exposed fusible links) from throwing molten lead around the interior. With glass fuses, the covers really have no purpose at all. The only reason people want them is for an OEM look. To get that look, the covers need to be clear.

 

Also, you have to take the interior trim panel off to see the clear covers...and I can't believe the hassle involved in taking the clear cover with labels off to check the fuses

 

I have a Series I GT4 and it doesn't have a trim panel over the fuse boxes so the covers do provide valuable protection for the fuses and connections.

If it should have a trim panel covering the fuses, could someone post a picture please.

Paul

 

The white and black bases, I would assume, is because the buss work on the back of the units is not the same?
