12 volt add on fuse box

[ICAT]

I know there are many threads on adding a 12 volt system to a deuce. My questions is what type of fuse box are used/better to use? Aftermarked or junk yard find? Yes I used the search function so I'm asking for someone to point me in the right direction.

Thanks

If you search for my thread "No help needed with M109 Restore.." Post #190 and next few cover fuse panels added to my truck. Aftermarket fuse panel purchased on Ebay.

I've used these with no failures yet. It is marine grade and very solid.

That's cool Dan. I wish I had autopilot and a depth finder on my truck. Does it work well fording?

On a serious note, I'd sure vote for new aftermarket over anything from a junk yard.

This way you know what you have... and where it started... new, not abused or may have problems down the road

Why not use the standard Breakers?

Oh Yeah. New and unused or abused aftermarket parts (China) on forty year old unabused vehicles. Sorry I couldn't resist, It is the new year.

Not too bad, but the fish finder goes a little wonky when I fire up the radios........
