Alrighty so I was investigating my underhood fuse panel today,

and if you remove the box there is a location on the power wire coming into the box for a fuse like this to be added on



This picture shows the power cable and then holder the fuse would go in between, you'd have to add a stud on the right side. (ignore the finger, I found this pic on google, bottom of picture is what i'm referring too)




Has anyone tried doing this? I know I read about it somewhere on the web...

trying to clean up my amp install and it seems like a pretty sweet place to hide my fuse.

 

Whats your question exactly? I use that stud for accessories no problem.

 

I guess my question is what size fuse fits in that holder? And what can I use for a stud on the opposite side, just a bolt from the hardware store?

 

I didn't use a fuse there but yea I tbink it's an 8mm stud

Awesome you're the man.

Although after researching it seems the lowest amp you can get those fuses is 100a... seems like overkill for one amp... maybe my idea isn't as good as I thought.

 

Yeah, at 100A you may find the fuse is not the weak link that you want it to be. You could do some serious welding downstream of it...

Use that spot anyway though, just adapt a different fuse holder to fit it. It won't look dead-factory but it would still be cleaner than a fuse holder sitting separately on the fenderwell or something.

You can put on this fuse holder, and use one of these fuses.

 

I saw this at Walmart today.

 

Thats pretty cool and not too expensive...
