Title: help in a electrical object search please
Post by: muddyjames on November 23, 2010, 16:23:57: I am wanting to do some wiring in my new van but I want to run a seperate fuse board to the manufacturers fuse board so it doesn't void any warranty!

What I am after is a fuse board where I have 1 main input from the battery and then through fuses which I can put spade connectors on to run out to different things. the closest I have got is this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-Way-Blade-Fuse-Box-Holder-UNIVERSAL-/130424677741?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e5deaa56d (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-Way-Blade-Fuse-Box-Holder-UNIVERSAL-/130424677741?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e5deaa56d) which only has inputs from each item not a main power in to each fuse. Any electricain be able to help me search please?
