Holding Up The Fuse Box

Recommended Posts

Martin W

I've come accross a problem, I have removed the lower part of the dash as its not needed in a track car but I dont have a way of holding up the fusebox anymore, as seen in the pic. How do other people keep the fuseboard up?

 

Any ideas welcome.

I took the little slidey thing off and put a cable tie through the hole and up around a bracket under the dash.

Sorry to resurrect a year old post but...

I have a ph1 dashboard, and the catch where the fuseboard hooks on has broken. I'll give the method above a try, but does anyone have any other suggestions on how to hold up the fuseboard? would really like to be able to close my glovebox.

They always are! There should be a little metal folded springy catch attached to the fuse board, and where this locates to secure the glovebox up onto the dash, the dash is more often than not worn/broken away. I try to bend the metal catch and/or mount is slightly off centre to the board so that it pops onto a new part of the dash, hopefully working for a while again!

Re-wire the car as you don;t need half of it anymore :) and you can have a nice 6 way fuse box then.

But you can get a tube/bar and have a R clip at the bottom

Well, so far, the cable ties have been working wonderfully. Thanks guys.

 

Wouldn't mind more info on the tube/bar Miles. Just out of curiousity.
