[Healeys] fuse box

[Oudesluys]

In-line fuses. If that means literally what it says it is a fuse just in 
the existing wire. Not a good idea as only you may know where it is. 
Subsequent owners may have to search or  guess. There are also quite a 
few classic cars that have these in-line fuses strewn around the car 
behind the upholstery and other parts from new, where nobody can 
normally find them. That is why I prefer the fuse/relays box. It means 
rerouteing some wiring (and strictly sticking to the colour codes) but 
you have all the fuses and/or relays in one spot convenient for 
inspection, just like the original fuse box with two or three fuses.
However do not position that box under the dash like in many modern cars 
but somewhere easily accessible under the bonnet in a watertight box.
