Ooooh, different.

Was thinking on rigging up a set of led's for the fuses to know when one has blown without searching through the  flaming htings

I have got two battery voltage gauges for the two batteries plus a turbo boost gauge it help you to have a play with the turbo with out the sound of a big bang, :twisted:  they all light up at night they are in a square pod in the middle of the dash in my 200. I did have an outside temp gauge in it, but the battery bit was more important. But the outside thingy did look good. :wink:

Hi Reaper

that's very smart guage holder you have there  :wink:

your right, most of the holders advertised are not all that   :?

You should work out a costing for them mate, I would be interested in purchasing a few, for the extra guages I have planned for my 90. A nice little side line  :)

On the subject of fuses, you can purchase blade fuses that glow when they have blown. One supplier of these is VWP (vehicle wiring products)

They sound great, do you know where I can get hold of VWP?

Trying to find a blown fuse at night is a nightmare, those fuses have got to be an essential purchase as long as thery aren't a tenner each.

Done this as a stop gap until I can spend more time, needed extra switches, this was the quickest and cheapest method

NOt that many, but was thinking ahead for switches, four of them operate the power sockets on the top of the box for the internal stuff, the other four are not connected yet to accessories had a problem getting out to finish the job

Just got them wired up to a juction box in the engine compartment already for when I work with the lights etc

92p each (or cheaper for bulk), MUST go and see them, also having looked through the online catalogue MUST NOT take credit card or will be in debt for ever!

Should have known where they are though, I have passed within a few hundred yards of them many times  :oops:
