I received an email today from the place Bruce and I ordered our blade-style fuse boxes from.  They are clearing out all of their supply of British fuse boxes at $30 each.

I have ordered myself a couple of spares for Minis/Triumphs.

Be careful as the one for Minis is different from the one for Midgets.  The Midget one has a bridge between two fuses that the Mini/Triumph one does not.  Ask Bruce what happens when you have the wrong one.

Ah yes. With the wrong fuse box the headlight switch powers on the fuel pump. Among other things.

But with the right fuse box, all things work as intended.

I definitely recommend getting one of these. I was having problems with the old glass fuses and I'm glad to be rid of them.

I bought one of the "wrong" ones once, I just cut the bridge out....

That is what Bruce had to do.
