    Default Small/Compact Fuse and Relay Holder?

    Hi,

    I Sometimes add Extra Relays and Fuses to cars to do things like Fans etc.

    Instead of letting relays hang free I sometimes try to Install them into the factory fusebox when I can to make things look good.
    sometimes there is no room.

    Is there a bracket or box out there that you can buy that Accepts common Types of Relays e.g Bosch ones.
    Perhaps a Little box that can hold 3 Fuses and 3 Relays and perhaps a Fusible Link, which has provisions for attaching to the chassis with bolts etc.

    Looking for something compact, is there anything available out there of this description?

    Thanks.

    Thanks.

    Try sourcing these units from older cars (probably pre-1980).
    Below is the smallest fuse holder I could find (keeping in mind a number of issues like price and availability)


    Another way is to buy relays with additional mounting provisions

    and run a number of them in a generic plastic box

    Cheers for Replies.... I'm more looking of something that is made to fit certain type of Fuses and Relays in there instead of custom made, I don't like the look of Exposed Relays that you can see, rather them to be hidden in a box.

    Using a Generic plastic box might not work because they will just hang loose in there unless i fabricate mounts to fit the box..... that's why i'm looking for something Pre-existing.

    I looked at a few cars to see what OEM stuff I can use but most Fuseboxes are Huge..... The closest I could find is a Fusebox from a N13 Pulsar... nearly perfect but only has Slots for Fusible links and not regular blade terminal fuses, pity.

    Yeah I've purchased a couple of the module ones. Haven't put them in the car yet but they've gone together ok.

    Just note that the wires hang out the bottom so you'll need to either elevate the module off the mounting surface or cut a hole in the mounting surface to run the wires behind the module.

    Can highly recommend vehicle wiring products as well. They were quick on delivery and shipping costs were pretty good. It's easy than trying to hunt around local shops here unless you know where to go.

    MTA also do some other fuse / relay solutions. You'd need to see if VWS could also get the stuff though. Have a sift through their catalogue though. It's downloadable at the following link.
