i blew a fuse today while tearing the interior down. i know, forgot to undo the battery. anyway i laughed when we pulled out these glass fuses. i was thinking about switching it over to a rally style circuitbreaker set. wire flip switches to the center console.

circuitbreaker setup is a good idea, but if i was going to change them i would go to glass fuses over the blade fuses. because the there is a lot more contact area on glass fuse than a blade fuse, so if the blade fuse got/have a dirty/bad connection there is more chance the circuit falure. if get my drift?
