Fuse Block

**drufle** · 10-09-2010, 05:45 PM

I got a '65 Wildcat. My fuse holders/terminals are completly corroded. Does anon have a replacement fuse block or fuse holders that will work? Im willing to get a completly new harness but still want a factory appearance. Thanks.

You can try
http://www.lectriclimited.com/
They offer fuse block repair kits (look in the 'repair components section).
MAYBE they'll have something for you.

I've searched for replacement terminals for my '66 Syklark GS, but couldn't find any. I ended up disassembling the fuse block, sandblasting the terminals, and replating them with a Caswell Plating kit.

They wernt any help for me. But thanks. Did you just take your terminals into a sandblasting place and have them take care of it? What kinda of plating did you use? I went to a Caswell website and they had alot of different types of plating. Oh yeah, how did you connect the wires back to the terminals?

Take a Dremel tool and clean the terminals. It's a tedious task, but you'll clean them just fine.

In all liklihood, they won't get that bad again because if your're restoring the car, it won't be exposed to the harsh elements.

Spread a little dielectric grease on the ends of the fuses and the terminals should remain clean.
