TR Fuse Box Solution Question

Dear James,
The 3e solution : the motherboards I make....they have thicker board, bigger connectors for fuses, relais and wires ! So that problem is solved...also much cheaper then the ones you mention. There are more then 70 boards installed on different Ferraris as : TR, testarossa, all mondials, 328, 400i, 412 and F40.
Feel free to contact me : theunissenguido@hotmail.com or you can find more info on : http://redbaycars.com/remanufactured/ferrari%20parts.html
There you find also an instalation manual.

SC does not adress that problem imo, just takes the bad guys out ...

Other solution with new pcb boards may use new contacts.

There is a "gold connector set" available at SC (? am I correct here) which gives you all connectors in the Testarossa.

Not cheap but it is a peventive option. Often applied here ...

Who wants to chime in ?

 

James , no hocus pocus with my boards...direct point to point connections with 2.5mm2 electric wires, double solder pins on each connector. See picture of a F40 bord backside.

You find all in the installation manual on Redbay : http://redbaycars.com/onewebmedia/Manuals/Installation%20manual%20Fuse%20Box.pdf
Gold connectors sets are not needed...just waste of money. It want help a golden connector if the connections surface is to small.
All the connectors I use are made in the USA and Switzerland. They can be adjusted (to put more pression on the round lips) if needed in the future. With the OEM this is not possible. Also my boards can be repaired in case something went wrong...OEM also impossible. Things only get worse once problems starts.

The best investment on my car whas Guido's fuseboard. Works great since 9 years. And I'm shure Guido improved his boards over the years !
A happy owner, Enzo52

 

Tell us Guido please !

 

James you are right : gold plated should be "gold colored forks" those connectors that are delivered with my board. A mistake by the translator. Will be corrected !
I upload also a picture of the tr backside Image Unavailable, Please Login board.

James,
Thats the correct English name. I order them from https://www.vogt.ch....good quality last longer. I send always 10 extra connectors in case of error or bad crimp.
It's NOT a plug and play sistem. The white plastic plugs have to be cut for every 90 degrees turned connector. A job of 2 hours with dremel or similar tool.
Every one can instal this board...you just need to be patience and be shure the wires are not mixt up.

Did you make one for the 512TR yet?

 

Hi, Joseph,
Stefan of Redbay did buy a 456 lately and I have to check if that fusebox has the same constalation as for 512 new model fuseboard. I allready have the wiring diagram for 512, just need the exact measurments of the connector positions. This will happen only when I'm back in Belgium (after may 2018).
Thanks for being patience !!
Guido

 

512 .... BB! or 512TR Guido ?

May be exactly the same as 456 ....

 

Mel, 512 TR....de grondplaat is hetzelfde als testarossa, alleen vershillen de opstelling van connector rijen. Ook 456 heeft dezelfde grondplaat als 512TR, doch misschien een ander bedradingsschema. Ik moet dat nakijken na mei 2018. Ben zoals ieder jaar in het zuidelijk halfrond te vinden. Dat het overwinteren geloof ik,
Guido

 

Niet helemaal Guido, alle connectoren van de 512TR zijn compleet anders dan die van een Testarossa !!

Ik weet niet hoe de connectors 456 er uitzien ...

hey theunissenguido and melwok
we write here in this section in english, not netherlands

I translated your writing theunissenguido and I see you do it like me: in wintertime going where it is warm

 

Indeed Mel;
The colored plastic connector holders on 512TR OEM boards use the same big female connectors with the wires as I do with my boards. Its just a question of position of the male connectors on the board itself....all others connectors for fuses and relais I can use the same like with my boards.
512TR and testarossa boards have the same square external dimensions.....

Yes smart of us ! But we have in mind all those who stay behind in the cold. For the moment 32 C and clear blue sky.

 

here just now about 4°C. have to wait until new year to leave
where are you during the european wintertime? argentina? brasil? when I see it right
my problem is not speaking spain

 

I'm in Bresil for the moment about 180 km north of Rio (Armaçao dos Buzios). And yes, you have to speak Spanish because there are more Argentinas (nos) living here then Brazilian people. Portugues is the main language in Brasil...There are also several Deutscher living here during winter in Europe. Sag nichts zu den Steuern !
Guido.

 

Ha ha ... Guido ....
