Wiring a replacement fuse box

[gggGary]

A commonly available 5 place fuse box, my local auto store had it in stock either side or bottom terminal. This is going on a cruiser to add some accessory circuits but someone here had asked about my "bus" creation. Feed the first fuse from a battery making it the ""main" fuse and use the other 4 as individual circuits, I drill the holes in the terminals larger to accept a #14 solid wire, solder it, done.
Will insulate the "bus"

Looks good, but too big for some bikes. How do you keep from melting the plastic body of the block when soldering?

I just use a big old weller soldering gun, apply the heat to the copper when the solder flows slide the tip to a tab, remove, let it cool a bit, repeat. No problems with the plastic.. the side tab type will fit where the factory fuse box sat on the 80-84 specials if you leave the clear cover off.
