    My red fuse box label is a little tired and I'm thinking of replacing it. Unfortunately, it is different from all the replacements I've been able to find - Kilimanjaro, Dinoparts, Superformance, etc. Mine matches the layout on my owner's manual exactly, and the electrical system is unrestored, so I'm pretty sure it's correct. Any ideas on where to get a replacement?

    Rutland's has some but I'm not sure if they are the same as yours.

    I am with Tony on this. I contemplated changing mine, which are in similar condition to those you show. Glad I did not change them. These are the sort of items that show the history and maintain the character of the car. A clinical look can look odd and is not easy/impossible to reverse.
    By the way, the plastic covers clean and de-scratch nicely with mild paint rubbing compound such as T-Cut. Just take care around the labels.

    I will follow your collective advice then. Although I'm still interested in why my label is different from all the available replacements. The right hand four fuses are labeled the same; it's the left hand four that are anywhere from slightly to very differently labeled.

    I would leave it original. It looks great and a little patina adds authenticity to the car.

    Interesting...that's totally different than my Italian delivery M-01712 Mar 71 build GT. Yours is 8-position horizontal orientation like E-series, while mine is 6-position vertical orientation.
