Spades for Glass -> Blade fuse conversion

[chris snell]

I ordered a fuse block (PRC4826) and bracket (AMR3138) from Defenders NW ages ago and I'm finally getting motivation to get this installed. I just realized that I have none of the spade connectors needed for this block, like this:

Does anybody know the size of the spade inserts that go in here, and better yet, does anybody have any that they can sell me?

They are Lucas 51102741. I see them on eBay UK super cheap.

 

[DefendersNW]

Yep - i've got them as well

Yep - i've got them as well

Can you send me some? Sent an email a while back about some hoses, need those too!

I would get the real crimping tool also if you don't one, yes expensive but you can always sell it down the road to somebody else doing this.

Does the plastic fuse panel fit under the stock metal frame that covers it on the bulkhead?

 

[Roverman2010]

Some metal has to be removed from the panel to fit the new fuse holder, I am not sure if all do? But the plastic cover fits the same as before. One of the best mods to do before fitting a whole bunch of electrical bits. You even get spare fuse places.

You can get the new style fuse block and bracket where everything fits nice and neat and looks factory:

Ah, I see, I was confused by only seeing the plastic blade holder in that first pic.

I think it's like $30 for both of those from LRdirect.

Fuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh.

The spades I got from British Wiring are not correct. They're way too beefy and won't slide down into the fuse block. $40 down the drain.

I really need a set of the correct blades and I need them super quickly. Can anyone help me out? Should I call RN? I am down to the wire and need them in a FedEx envelope.

 

[chris snell]

So it turns out that I did order the right ones from British Wiring; they just sent the wrong ones by mistake. I have some new spades on the way and I'm hoping I can get my panel converted this weekend and get on with my electrical work.

Need pics when you get to it.

Should have waited...
