Dick,Lew, Listers,
At the rear of my original cutout was a piece, if not two pieces, of asbestos
material plus the wire cage. This, I presume, was to reduce the chance of
the resistors touching earth and also, a heat barrier.
I once read that trials owners would turn the units upside down to avoid the
fuses dropping out on the rough.
I decided to mount my fuses up top due to the fact that the holes in the unit
for the wiring loom is off centre by one inch. On my firewall the hole for
the loom to dash is horizontally in line with the unit. This wouldn't be the
case if it was upside down. Off by 2".
Wasn't there also a card insert that fitted over the fuses to identify them?
