[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8218008, member: 659121"] Glad you posted this thread.. I'm knee deep in the middle of an install.. Car gutted etc. Have my wires run, included Power wire and "guestimated" the fuse length about 12-16" from where it will hook the battery terminal,.. I won't be screwing it into the sheet metal on the side!.. Best thing for the area seems to neatly zip tie it to some of the factory Wire loom nearby, or ziptie to one of the two fuseboxes right there,.. I'm not a big fan of driling holes into Airboxes, or even a fusebox. Don't like permanently altering pieces meant to be sealed. Little parts like that cost a fortune for this car,.. brian84corvette,.. Even if a Fuse is mounted in it's plastic casing to the sheetmetal of a car,.. It is supposed to be safe in that location no? I thought the main purpose (besides protecting the fuse itself) of the plastic shell was to keep it non conductive. Were any strands of the power wire hanging out a bit at the fuse junction? Seems like an odd thing to happen to an enclosed fuse,.. I figured it'd just blow and that'd be that. [/QUOTE]
