Bill, sorry to say it was not that easy.  I went to the junk yard and pulled

a fuse box from a toyota.  Lots of fuses of all the same type 3ag.  I

rewired it, soldering pig tail leads to the back.  I then cut off all the

factory spade connectors and soldered them to the pig tails from my new fuse

box.  While I was at it, I rewired a few circuits so that I can roll the

windows up without the keys, and things like the tail lights are together on

the same circuit and headlights are on another circuit like a regular car.

I did manage to get it to fit in the factory location.



I have however always been toying around with rebuilding the factory fuse

boxes and using fuse clips for 3ag style fuses.  Sounds like a custom

product that may make some money.  HMMM?
