[/quote]coco: There's room there for the fuse panel. [/quote]

Ummm, it's not the room, it's the accessibility, the older and the more cripple I get, the more difficult is to reach stuff, especially on the side of the road in "resume speed B.C." in a rain storm in the middle of the night. Admittedly, it is not often that a fuse has to be changed after the wiring is done, but it needs to be easy to get to either by a sliding drawer or a door or a removable panel.
