RE: Info ‘64 fuses & =?Windows-1252?Q?

[David Bailey <bb64d440@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just got back in from the shop after re-checking the orientation of the fuse block and harness to the dash and I believe I got it figured out! Everything appears to fall into place. The fuse block will be mounted with a single self threading screw and facing to the floor (with the fuse section only protruding out from under the dash edge, correct?) I think I will make up a thin clear plastic cover (which Kevin mentions) to close off any mistaken access to the internal wiring, which will now be facing upward. This will also help to keep out dust / dirt.
Thanks again guys, you’re the best!
