Mondial Fuse Box

Revive away please Clive

 

Steve, I'm sure it was the 3.2 part.

Clive,

My apologies, but it seemed like nothing was happening on any front. The guy I know will not only make the new board with upgraded materials, but also he will take the old fuse box, disassemble it, put in new connectors, rewire it and return a finished piece to the owner. And, he's right here in New Jersey. Since other alternatives were not developing or moving forward, I thought it was worth pursuing with him. Things are not firm yet, but he can definitely do the boards and he's sourcing the rest of the needed connectors and materials now. A final price should be available soon.

Regards,
Steve

 

Clive,

Are you talking about producing an entire new fuse box, or retrofitting and refurbishing old ones? Obviously, if you are producing an entire unit with upgraded components, that would be preferable IMHO over a refurb of the old units. Also, on the relays, I believe that the Bosch solid state relays are plug and play with the old mechanical relays. It seems the relays are not the heart of the problem. It's that damn circuit board and the undersized connections.

Keep us posted, and I'll do the same.

Steve

 

Clive,

It sounds like your setup would be better. Any idea on ball park pricing and how long it would take to get production up and running? I don't see a problem with Hella relays. As long as the amperage on them is correct, Hellas should work as good as Bosch.

I've used Hella relays, fog lights, etc. in a number of applications and I find their quality excellent. Hella S.S. relays are the way to go.

Sounds good on potential delivery -- before the Spring, yes! Waiting anxiously for pricing. ;-) Enjoy the Chinese N.Y. over there.

 

Solid state relays - yea!
There is also nothing wrong with good old heavy gauge wire as well.

If this is a beefy overbuilt bulletproof unit with Japanese reliability, the Mondial world will beat a road to your door;

I'm in.

Happy Year of the Dog - my year!!!!

 

Xie xie ni.

 

Please let me know if you go ahead with the project. I am interested, as my fuse box is looking bad.
Thanks

 

Over the last year or so, several people have posted "I'm gonna build a new fuse box." I hope you actually do it.

If you build a quality unit at a reasonable price, many here (including me) will buy one.

 

Thank you for posting all of the infomration about the Mondial fuse panel when it is available as many of I am sure are interested & potenital buyers. I would be interested in one for my '82 Mondial. How much? Shipping charges? Availability?

 

While all of you have been discussing how to go about having a new IC panel made I have been driving my 83 Euro QV Mondial for the last 6 months. Everything has worked flawlessly. Old technology, had it hand rewired point to point, and also replacing undersized wiring to the AC, fuel pumps, and ignition with correct size for the load. All redone to stock appearance and finished with an updated wiring/relay diagram laminated into the fuse box cover. Cost to rebuild the fuse box $460. Cost to have a new diagram made and rebuild the wiring harness $832. This repair should last the life of the car....

And yes, the Ferrari factory trained craftsman and shop owner said he would be willing to do more cars. Cost would be varible depending on amount of work required to sort out the wiring harness and condition of the fuse box (I supplied a near new box and it was still a mess)

Whatever happened to this project? I, like so many other Mondial owners, have begun to experience electrical gremlins, and I'd sure like to have a near-total solution for them.........If this project has been placed on the back burner, would any of you who have worked on this fuse box replacement be willing to provide your work product to any of us who might be interested in taking it from here? I believe there's a market for this product, albeit a comparatively small one, and it looks like the time is now

Anyone with knowledge of this project, please advise.

 

If and when this ever happens, I would be interested in one for sure...
I have an 88 Mondial Cab. Jerry

 

Clive / Zertec is still working on getting replacement units designed and manufactured and Steve / Swissmondial has one of my old ones to see if he can recondition them

 

The last discussion on this was in February of this year....any word on when units may become available? My goal is to replace, rather than to repair

 

The efforts I was making to have a new circuit board built to refurbish the units has come to a halt. The board designer/manufacturer says that the mulitlayer board is too costly to duplicate in small quantities to make the project economically feasible for him. So that's about that. Plus, I sold the Mondial and now have a 308, and got the Birdman upgrade fuse block for the 308. So while my sympathies go out to everyone, I'm no longer involved in seeking a solution.

p.s. -- I lost the info on the lister who sent me the sample board to be analyzed. Please PM me and I'll return it to you.

 

I'm reaching WAAAAAAY back to 2007 - asking if these upgraded fuse boxes are still available?
Anyone, anywhere?
Thanks.
