Fuse box upgrade + wiring connector uogrades
Stevestriker750 - 22/5/21 at 04:51 AM

Hi all,
My Striker is having a lick of paint very soon so the rear tub is being removed. It has the traditional blue bullet type connectors for the lighting system and I thought it may be an idea to change them whilst it's being stripped down. Any suggestions on replacements.

I also have a very old style fuse box which I'm also looking at upgrading for reliability.

Any suggestions greatly received 🤗

I like the amp seal style connectors as above for most things over than high current stuff like the fan.

Fuse box, I’ve just bought one of these eBay Item
Nice quality. Modern switch gear pretty much needs a relay for everything.

The first thing I do with a kitcar is rewire it.

This was one of the best £35 I've spent on wiring tools.

Use uninsulated spades, bullets, multiplug pins etc....
