Where to get fuse blocks?

knorrena · 01-30-08, 12:11 PM

So all you guys that have these fancy smancy power distribution systems, where do you get your fuse blocks? The only place that I could find that had anything worthwhile is Painless. Is there anyplace else?

Go to a marine store, like West Marine. They have all kinds of high quality power distribution and management products.

Marine supply places are good. Blue Sea makes some really slick ones. Definitely helps keep add ons from turning into a rats nest.
That's what I'd go with.

I like the stuff they have on that VTE site. Was it easy to buy small quantities

I would concur with a marine source.

12voltguy.com has some stuff too.

If I'm not mistaken, I saw those exact VTE distribution blocks at West Marine.

I used the same for my build. I also fit them to all the boats I wire at work. Very good quality product.

I've found this place Waytek Wire : Electrical Wiring Supplies & Industrial Products to be a great source for fuse blocks, weird connectors, and other automotive/RV wiring products.

I took one out of a junk yard FJ60. Far more fuse positions than I'll ever use....
