no the logicon is also relocated.

the logicon's original location would be the slot above the relocated warning lights.

Most of the thin red wires are for power distribution.
The three fuse blocks are set-up for:  constant power, switch ignition power, and headlight illumination
This makes it easier for me to hook up all the electrical crap in the car, especially the gauges!

They were bought locally.
They are single power wire into 6 "gang" ATC "blade" fuse holders.
So you just need one power wire hooked into them, and then you can split it out to 6 other wires with fuses for each circuit.
These are normally pretty damn expensive - like $10+ each!

I'll take more recent pics of them if you want more info.

Yeah, that pic is very old, so it doesn't look like that anymore.
I don't really care to work on my car nowdays.
I'm much too busy taking care of other people's FC's! :P

Do local parts stores carry these? I see simular ones on ebay for $15/pc + 15s/h its what I want to do, but I don't want to spend $30 a pc on them...

And trust me, if you saw the mess fo wires around the battery, you'ld know why..

You can try.
Also try the local car audio shops.
This is where I got mine, but the salesguy was a friend, so he sold it to me at cost.
Normally, they charge like $20 - $25 EACH!
I dunno why they are so expensive.

I've found similar products on Parts Express and MCM Electronics.

so is relocating that stuff hard? or is it just time consuming? i would think just time consuming.... is it just rerouting wires and making them longer? BTW where do you get ABS platic sheets you cat cut away at?

Parts expressi is awesome, where I've gotten most of my relays and harnesses at. They didn't have much for fuse blocks though. I found a website out of CA that sells for SCCA competition. They had 5gangs (60amp max) for $5.63 per block. Bought three of them.

Thanks for the good info!

Most hardware stores will carry such. If you have an ace hardware or lowes (shudder wallyworld domination!) they will have it. Most places will either sell by the sheet or by the foot-- meaning that its not always right out in the open, and you'll have to ask.
