Good question I would like to see some ideas as well.

What are you looking to accomplish exactly?

Most people who make custom fuseblocks will take 2 pieces of copper or aluminum, drill and tap them, and mount them on a non-conductive surface such as a piece of wood or plexi.

need to mount (2) 40 amp AGU fuses in parallel

I do have some ideas using brass bar's, Plexiglas top and bottom with small alan screws hold it on the bottom and top, Alan screws for wire, holes drilled for 1/0 to go in.

I think thats everything you would need to build a simple one. Just need a fuse to know how far to space screws and bars.. I might make some sounds easy.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The easy way to do it would be to just buy some cheap AGU fuseblocks off ebay and run all the wires together.

That's how my old fuseblock was

However, I decided to custom make one for carl casper next weekend. It involves these. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well you need to get some parts ASAP then if you want this done by casper. I would recommend contacting some MECA competitors in the louisville area to see if they could help you out with parts.

Those are bolts that I cut the heads off of to replace my fuses. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

ben (lakota) is a good person to talk to. Him and his teammates have built a lot of fuseblocks.

Warning: Bolts do not pop like fuses. Do not attempt to be like TommyK.
