18 months after beginning the entire car rewire with a
Dan Masters Power Block wire harness the project is now
finally 100% completed. A Lexan distributor found on
island to fabricate the Block cover assembly. The tackle
box is gone!!

Don- For your info.

1. Lexan----------------- $21. crystal blue materials
2. Labor & assembly ------$35.
Total = ----------------------$56.

PLUS+

Shipping and handling to the States from
Puerto Rico to you = $84. (foreign country fees /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/nonono.gif)

That's nice, but I really did like the tackle box with it's red trim.
 
Jeff,

It's tough to get the ground wires to hold on to the Lexan. Once you get by that, you're golden. Or whatever other color that you may choose.

Nice job, but. Isn't there a way to hide that big ugly under the footwell?

Sorry.

For all who are watching.

In the future, if anything goes wrong, please remember who posted this suggestion. (not me, Bill or Dave)

Ya know, I have a feeling that Banjo's trying to con his way into another trip to Bayamon.

This seems to be a plot on Banjo's part for extended southern vacation time. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/nonono.gif
Ben, just remember, You have to do the repairs on your own time.

Don :

Here's a larger photo

The box in a single piece of crytal blue Lexan;

It was fabricated from a piece of 3/16" by 13" width
by 26" length.

The box sides were heat folded and then the top heat bent
up, over and back down and heat welded to the top edge of
the sides.

The completed box has 2-3/8" vertical sides (3);
a 10" long bottom piece and a 13" top piece. One end is
open and a 4" by 8" is open on the bottom end.

Here's a bigger photo:

PS: They folks who carry the tire valve LED caps will get
a visit. Ben has a great idea for lighting up the engine
bay. DPO PeterL's drinking pals would approve.

Jeff,

Nope! The box pivots from the wire end.

The fuse panel slides right out, less than an few
seconds to change out fuses or flasher cans. Snug fit
but not tight

Remember, a decent designer, with much hands-on
Power Block experience, was involved!!

It's an interesting improvement over the Tupperware one, I must say.

Izzat yellow CAT-5 goin' in that thing?!?! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif
 
The one advantage to the Tupperware is you can burp it. Ok maybe that's a disadvantage.

Tupperware-smupperware!!

I simply do not believe I am the lone fisherman among all
the Triumph car owners on the BCF. There has to be a FEW
fishermen out there.

The photo is a tackle box used to store sharp, pointy
weapons in the fight to catch game fish. Cabellas sells them.

Cabellas is like Moss Motors or TRF for fishermen.
