As you probably know, we offer replacement fuse panels for impact bumper cars 1974 - 89. These have been very popular, they improve the headlamps and generally make windows, sunroofs and such like much less sluggish.

We have held off providing a solution for the early cars (pre '74) with the belief that this market is more focused on originality. Recently, though, we have a number of enquiries about early cars.
The early car fuse boards are in essence the same as the later offerings, just with 3 less fuse ways and mounted vertically. Annoyingly, the hole spacing is slightly different as the original fuse blocks mount direct to tabs on the body and they are not butted up to one another like in the later cars. So, this will be a new panel design.
Another issue surrounds the screw on lids. Our headlamp relays are squeezed in making the fuse spacing slightly different to original fitment. Furthermore, the finished height of the fuses and holders negates the fitment of the original cover. A poll of a few folks reveals that some don't care about the cover and others insist that not having a cover would be a 'showstopper'. The panel is usually behind the carpet. Making our own covers is likely to be very expensive.
So, just trying to gauge interest here.
Who would be interested in a fuse panel solution for pre '74 cars with all the features of our existing post '74 panel? Is the lack of lid a 'showstopper' for you?
If we get enough feedback, we will make a small batch.
Cheers,
Jonny
