Hella Fuse Blocks - Experience or Location Anyone?

[chubby]

Turns out Hella makes some fuse blocks just as simple as the original ones. I bought a 4 and 6 connector one, thinking I would do 4 for the battery and 6 for the ignition.
I'm looking to mount them in the vicinity of the stock fuse block with sheet metal screws. Is there anything behind there that I might break?
I've attached some pics of the fuse blocks and where I want to put them. That's the previous owner's wiring, not mine...

I have no experience with Hella blocks. I use the ones from West marine. I have them mounted underneath the glove box. I can send you a pick if you like. I just used #10 self tapers

The wiring looks OK except for all of the unfused hots on the lower terminal, unless they are fused elsewhere. IIRC the top half is auxilliary power, power when the key is on, and the bottom is constant hot. The top fuse holder is a spare that can be used for a cb or stereo. I'd replace the original with the six-fuse holder and set up one for all the extras under in the engine bay and clean up the mess at the bottom.
Just look at the other side of the firewall to see if there is anything in the way. There shouldn't be except for the engine block. mount it up with nuts, bolts, lockwashers. Get someone to hold the dumb wrench on the engine side of the firewall.

Sorry chubby, I got it backwards. The top is always hot and the bottom is auxilliary power. Either way a little bit of work could clean that all up nice. Don't mess with any of it until you unhook the battery.
