_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 i doubt youd be able to move it without cutting wires. Id figure out where you are wanting to relocate it and then cutting each individual wire, adding in hew wire to lengthen, and then move on to the next wire. Would be a very slow boring painfull process id say. may find it benificial to pick up a second fuse box from a wrecked car if you re planning to relocate into the cabin so they can be threaded to the firewall.

pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2010 thats where mine is, mines a racecar so i dont use the glovebox anyway, you can just get away with keeping the full box on mine, but in saying that my loom is very simplified and i have no heater box etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolliver 1 Report post Posted May 16, 2010 how did you mount it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2010 the screwed it to the firewall, there is a box section peice of the firewall that runs just below the windscreen right across the car, the bit that has the big L shaped bracket coming off it when you take the dash out. i just screwed the mounting screw onto a tab that was on there.
