My fusebox looked like hell and I think it might have been giving me some problems. I figured I should replace it for reliability and ease of troubleshooting.
Anyways I went to radio shack and got this fusebox.

It was only $3.50 and it seems to be really high quality. The fuses are held really tight.
I took my old fusebox out and popped out the old fuse clips. Then I took a pair of pliers and broke off the fuse clip holders to make the base of the unit flat.
I then had to grind off a bit of the spade ends on the fusebox since it was too wide. I soldered the wires to the new fusebox, put two screws in it, and then reassembled.
It was pretty easy and it seems a lot more solid. I didn't go for the blade type fuse since I liked the stock location.
Here is the old fuse box.
And the new one.
I like it since it looks just like a factory part. I was even able to route all the wires correctly. The cap fits on fine and it looks stock. I am very happy with it and a steal at $3.50.
