You're not going to show everyone my cute little fuse map?

I bought the fuse panel from NAPA auto parts- it's generic. I then simply transfered the wires and replaced the connectors. Since I did it, no electrical problems with this car, none, never.

Seems to me he used something from, say, VIP Auto or other source and made his own that uses normal glass fuses. Hopefully Jeff will chime in here. As i see it, the stock unit offers a much smaller contact area plus employs non-standard (per se) fuses. What Jeff did offers a higher contact area and (possibly) better secures the fuse into the holder. Enjoy the Drive, Steven R. Rochlin PS: As always, if you a larger photo e-mail me. Usually the file size is under 1MB for larger, highly detailed photo. Hans E.

I got the white one from Rutlands, for about $140ish, as I recall. It's available elsewhere for a little less. Even with a new box, BE SURE TO SOLDER *ALL* CONNECTIONS. Although I didn't replace the black box, I did remove it and SOLDERED EVERYTHING. If you do this, you won't have any further problems.

(although the multiple riveted male spades on the front side can be problematical too IME...)

Am not home to take photos, yet can supply photos tomorrow and, hopefully, a source where to buy the newer (better) fuse boxes. Thanks for your patience. Enjoy the Drive, Steven R. Rochlin Mark (Markg) Member Username: Markg Post Number: 384 Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Monday, February 10, 2003 - 10:45 am:    Just did both boxes...$160.00 each; same flawed design as 20 years ago, Ferrari has done nothing to update the design.... Steve Magnusson (91tr) Intermediate Member Username: 91tr Post Number: 1401 Registered: 1-2001 Posted on Monday, February 10, 2003 - 10:34 am:    Randall -- There is no "blade"-fuse type equivalent 308 fusebox available that I'm aware of. Even if you could find a generic blade fuse holder with the right number of fuse positions you'd also need to fabricate the input and output power distribution "circuits" that the plates/rivets on the back of the stock 308 fusebox provides so this is not a trivial project. (Jeff H. -- Can you put up a shot of the 308 fusebox backside?) Jeff Howe (Ferrari_uk) Junior Member Username: Ferrari_uk Post Number: 99 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, February 10, 2003 - 10:21 am:    Hi all. We have both types of fuse boxes in stock. Looked on the Owners' Site for 308 USA carb... 40197006....Black box 40196909....Clear box Both �63.10.......about $103.00 + shipping + taxes Hope this helps. Randall Booth (Randall) Junior Member Username: Randall Post Number: 68 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 2:14 pm:    Anyone replace the fuse box with a newer type? I can't seem to find an arrangement that is the same in the blade setup. I wouldn't mind switching over to that style fuse and fuse block out of convenience. Matt Lemus (Mlemus) Intermediate Member Username: Mlemus Post Number: 1882 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 1:48 pm:    I agree. The car does not nickel and dime you, it $50 and $100's you. Bruno (Originalsinner) Member Username: Originalsinner Post Number: 938 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 1:47 pm:    U know at these prices a 308 should either be worth 100k or nothing. Matt Lemus (Mlemus) Intermediate Member Username: Mlemus Post Number: 1880 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 1:45 pm:    There are some on Ebay for $150 or something close to that Bruno (Originalsinner) Member Username: Originalsinner Post Number: 934 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 1:35 pm:    Anybody buy one recently. From whom? How much and how original. Need for78gtb.
