Afternoon everyone, hope your having a good weekend.

I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of there glass fuse to blade fuse conversions. I'm looking at getting a blade fuse holder (http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-onlinestore/fuses/holders1.php like the ones on this page) but they appear to be quite big and I am unsure I will be able to fit the cover back over them as I want to keep the cover.

Or is there another way of fitting blade fuses?

Thanks for any help.

You could fit the actual blade fuse box that goes into a 300TDi

and at under £7 - 20 Way Bulkhead Blade Fuse Holder / Box And Terminals - By Lucas Rist | eBay

Will that fit straight into the existing fuse holder, do you know?

You might needs to replace or modify the metal back plate but the cover will still fit. This is the box that normally goes into a 300TDi. It's what I have in my landy.

Ok thank you. That's probably a lot cheaper and easier then what I had in mind haha. Thanks again

Just detach the existing glass fuse box from the metal back plate then take the new fuse box and adjust the size of the hole to fit. Next take each pair of wires that go to a glass fuse and chop off the glass fuse holders replacing them with the terminals from the new fuse box. Label each terminal by putting a coloured tie wrap round the input side and the pair (I would also do something so you know what the pair are and the fuse value).

Once they are all labelled you can push the terminals into the waiting fuse box. Whilst doing this you have the ideal chance to take a couple of permanent live feeds to spare fuses and half a dozen ignition live ones ready to attach accessories later.

That's brilliant thank you very much. Sounds exactly like what I'm trying to do. Thank you for your help.
