What Fuse Box?

Hey I need some advise on fuse boxes,I know I need to run one now that my wagon is 12v , but do I have to go the full new harness route or can I just use one out of sand rail / porsche? I have a couple of early vw type also. will these type handle the current load of the stock wiring now that it's got a 60 amp alternator {gbc type fuses}

 

don't mattter. Go to napa get one. Use it.

 

If you run into someone parting out a '58 Buick they have a nice little basic fuse box, comes off the firewall easy, uses regular terminals on the back. And it uses those "traditional" gl*** fuses.

 

American Motors and some Jeeps from mid to late 60's have a nice fuse panel; gl*** fuses, all labled, push-on terminals.

 

I wouldn't use the old German fuse boxes. They use those ceramic/plastic fuses with the tin or lead element on the outside. The exposed metal tends to oxidate as well as expand and shrink with temperature. It was always a good idea to periodically remove all these type fuses and bend the holding tabs toward each other to prevent fuses from falling out or arcing. Blade type fuses provide a much more solid connection.
