Another little update.
PO had replaced the glass fuses with ATC-style blade fuses. He used individual fuse sockets with pigtails spliced into the wiring harness. Did an adequate job, but the resulting gob of wires and fuse sockets just sort of sits on top of the battery and gets crammed under the seat, which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.
I've seen a number of very nice mods here using the gang fuse blocks and I knew that's the way I wanted to go.
However, I didn't want to butcher the tool box (mostly because I just got done painting and reinstalling the battery box and didn't want to take it all back out). Also, I wasn't a big fan of having to lift the seat to get at the fuses. I'd MUCH rather have them tucked neatly under a side cover.
So, I went out to the (freezing....) garage, pulled up a chair and nursed a cuppa cawfee whilst contemplating my options. A couple of ideas that occurred right off got shot down as soon as I put the airboxes back on. "Oops, that spot is taken..."
Finally, I realized that I don't plan on actually using the tool box (I'll have one of them neato leather rolls for that). After making a cardboard template, I decided I could use the upper rear airbox bolt and the upper voltage regulator bolt as mounts and made a plate out of some scrap aluminum as shown in the first three pictures.
Then I drilled and tapped some 8-32 holes to mount the fuse block to the plate as shown in the fourth picture.
With the exception of having to remove the screw-down clear cover over the fuse block, everything tucks neatly under the side cover as you can see in the final picture.
I'll strip the wiring harness back and splice longer wires into it so I can route them to and from the new fuse block neatly. Just need to find some right-angle female spade lugs.
