FC Fuse block in FB question
Hi guys, I've been trying to follow the instructions on how to put the FC fuse block over into my GSL SE and I have a few questions.
Take a look at my video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgFzo...e=channel_page
You can see that the dark black cable is like a horseshoe, both cables go up, and one more comes back down. Now, on the GSL SE fuse box stock, that cable is split between the two sets of fuseable links. Now what I need to know is, now that we have just ONE box, so I cut that cable to get rid of it?
Secondly, as you can see in the video I have something hooked up wrong. I have that power split between both sides, and I dont think thats right. When I look at these pictures here:
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...light=Fuse+box
And here:
https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/fuseable-link-conversion-403676/
Neither set of pictures make it clear as to what to do with the cable listed as "Main"
Do I put one of the black cables using a bolt to one side, and then solder an end onto the "Main" cable, and bolt it to the OTHER side of the box?
Thats the only help I need and I'll be done, thanks guys!!

Hey guys, I doodled a quick picture of what I have too if it helps at all:
The regular lines are just things like retractors, headlights etc hooked up to the blades. Now, my confusion is on the bigger red and white cable, and the solid black cables that are split in a horseshoe.
The horshoe originally went to both sides of the gsl se's fuseable links.
Now, I currently have one on each side of the FCs fuse box, attached via screw. I dont think this is right, as now the big red main cable doesnt go to a 100 amp fuse thats in the middle and every picture I can find on the forum shows that the big red cable goes to the middle on their boxes. What I cant see in any of the pictures though, is what to do with the black cables.
Remember, theres two terminals on either side of the FCs fuse block. Im confused guys, and this is one of the last obstacles to getting my car running. pleeease help.

Found the thread I used to do the conversion.

The black cable is the main supply from the battery to the box, then to the old main link. When I do this conversion I try to cut off as much of the FC harness as possible, then the box is sort of plug and play except for the heavy wires that are screwed into the side.
