HI all Z-fanatics, I am an owner of a 1973 240z that i have been restoring for ...... lets just say awhile.
like a lot of Z owners my OEM fusebox had some melting overheating problems. So like we all do
looked online for OEM replacements or upgrades. I was able to locate one online used of course,
and of course it looked good in the pictures, well even when I went to purchase it guess i was to excited
for the find and price that i didnt do a really in-depth check. so when I got home all excited to install it
I begin to install the nice old glass auto fuses, and well........ it cracked on the same area where mine was cracked!!!!
I was kind of able to do a quick repair but of course that didnt last so again back to the web to search for a new or upgrade.
I did see the upgrade to
MSA Fuse Box


This is nice for about $200 bills. Didnt quite want to spend that much so looked for something else but no
luck. Until I came across this...




I came across this online for only around $20 bucks. So I said what the heck lets give it a go.

Here is the wiring setup I did. Since I had my old fusebox I removed all of the cables/pluges
and soldered them onto the leads. ( ATTENTION: Soldering is pretty bad did it at night with small light and couldnt find my glasses so....)

ok here is the OEM backside of the old fusebox


my little diagram



here is the wiring digram for the new fusbox







Here is my final product










I havent had the chance to install it but will in a few days.
I will let you know how it turns out.

oh it would be cool if someone could 3d print a bracket for this that would screw into the original mount!!!
may be when I get a chance I will create one.

Let me know what you think.
not bad for about $20 bucks!!!!
Have fun.
