Fuse Panel Mount

[Laid_Out_50]

Where did you guys mount your fuse panel. I want to mount it so when looking in the cab you can see it.

I mounted my highway 21 kit up under the dash on the left hand or driver side. I tucked it up pretty high.

I saw not long ago where someone had mounted the cpu and fuse panels under the bench seat. Not a bad idea if you have a flip forward option.

I've also seen this done on small full extension drawer slides so it pulls out from under the seat when you need to access it. I thought that was pretty smart.

mine is above the drivers left foot, easy to see with a flash light and a little neck craning

i did see an article where the panel was mounted on a hinged panel
unlatched it swung down for easy access to the panel

I've seen one or two that were on Hinged panels that swing up out of the way but can easily be dropped down to be serviced. I hid mine way up under the dash on the firewall and it is a pain to reach even with the suicide doors that let me sit on the running board. I was half the age I am now when I put that fuse block up there and I don't bend as well as I did then.

I mounted my rebel harness on the firewall above my gas and brake pedal.

I mounted mine, about like everyone else, sort of. I didn't want it too high. I can't imagine mounting anywhere else! I even thought maybe under the seat! not! lol

I'm getting ready to do this final part of my project, so critique this idea. I'm thinking of putting a box about 2" deep and roughly 6"x6" into an opening I cut in the fresh air vent on the driver side. I already had to box the pass side to accomotate the A/C unit due to firewall setback and the door assembly had to be cut out of the driver side as it was all rusted shut. I'll not be using this space for anything else and my thinking is, with holes and grommets, the main wire bundles to the front and rear could be routed through the lower vent to the frame and pretty muchly hidden up through the engine bay. Having it recessed 2 or so inches would allow a door to be incorporated into the kick panel. The box would also be big enough to hold the vac pump relay and the fuel pump relay and keep everything in one place that would not be horrible to access. I'll already have to put the EFI computer under the dash with easy access and also the MSD 6 box I intend to run so that space is getting tight. Give your opinions and/or quality thinking about why or why not since I won't be making the cut(s) for a couple of days. I'd like other eyes to give me ideas to make it better or even better, warn me of possible problems I haven't thought of. Thanks.

Mine is mounted to a flat aluminum panel roughly 2" larger than the box with a hole cut in the panel to access the back of the fuse box. On each corner of the panel I drilled holes and then held it up to the firewall and marked the location of the 4 holes. I welded 2 1/2" bolts to the firwall with the threaded end pointing towards the panel. ran some nuts down the bolts 1/2 " and tacked them then placed the panel/box on the studs and secured it with some nylocks. It leaves a space behind the box for the wires and is very secure.

Here is where mine is going. Will have a removable cover to hid the wires running along the firewall to side and down where the firewall bends back.
