FC fuse box bracket remakes and other small fabricating

Since apparently Re Speed is no longer serving our fb needs I was wondering how much interest there would be in a batch of the fc fuse box brackets. I can make a ton of them with quality material and can also powder coat them. Also I am looking to start making brackets for hood dampeners. Any other small type fabrication suggestions ?

Thanks

Dave

how hard is it to put in an fc box? its just to make it easier to add things in under the bay right? Id be interested in one if its not too hard, i was thinking about using a universal fuse box but id prefer an fc one since itd look nicer.

It does add cleanliness and the ability to add on. But the main advantage is being able to get rid of those awful fusible links and use actual fuses.

The fc fuse box install is simple, but requires de-pinning the original fusible link bay if you want to do it properly. Its not hard, just time consuming. I just did mine a few months ago and used the fc mounting bracket. How much are you asking for your brackets? Also a pic would be nice so that i can decide whether to leave good enough alone or use your piece.

As far as other stuff to fab up, maybe the headlight lifter arm bushings? They seem to break a lot on our cars, or maybe an aluminum center console for people adding gauges and switches?

I made my own. If you're going to make them. I had one of the respeed one make it out of a thicker material then they did.

The factory fuse box bracket can be trimmed and it will work fine
