Fuse box color coded cardboard

[Driv3r]

Does anyone know where I can get a correct colour coded image pattern of the fuse box cardboard? I found a few on google but they're not all the same. I'm looking for one to suite my 73tii so I can print the right pattern on the new one I'm making. Thanks

I can send you a picture of a one but there are a few versions of both the six and twelve fuse boxes.  Can you post a pic of the old one you have?

I have a 73 non-tii cardboard out right now but I don't know if it's the same.

Thanks Hal, here is the old one:

I just downloaded a bunch of PDFs of original users guides and they had nice fuse info in them. I think there was one for Tii. I will try to loacte where I put them..., but a couple questions just for my education:

 

o Are all 12 fuse blocks the same .. I assume not exactly since a Tii for example must have other electro parts that carbs do not?

 

o What is this cardboard you guys are talking about. My fuse block just has the block and the clear cover has position numbers for my '75 carb car.

Crazy color.. pop art! But was that for Tii only?

All 02s should have them, it's at the back of the fuse housing so you won't see it.

Don't think they're the same but you can compare with the photo I posted.

Ahhh... Learn something every day!  I never pulled my fuse block and live in fear of doing so since I can just imagine the 40+ year old wires just crumbling. Maybe some day, but not until I have to.

 

Although I recently saw a picture of a guy holding the fuse block up above the hole after removing the screws... and it almost looked like they give you about 5-6" of wire length for the wires connecting to the block.

Here are some shots of a NOS fuse box with the same color patterns.   I couldn't remove the card for fear of damaging it but hopefully the colors are good enough for reproduction.  I took shots both with and without flash.

The wires are indeed short but can be disconnected to remove the box.  Take a pic of the connections first of course especially because there are bound to be some PO added connections.

Thanks Hal, much appreciated.

The only reason you should fear lifting up the fuse box, is discovering what has been living beneath it. This mouse furniture was below mine. My old flip phone for scale. The stuff soaked up water and caused inner fender and firewall rust that I had to fix, about 5 years later. My car is a fairly early tii (plastic runners) and here's the underside of the fuse box.

Good stuff! That NOS fuseblock is minty.  For us regular joes, use a tiny screwdriver to gently move the paper up and off the terminals.  Then dunk the fuseblock in an ultrasonic cleaner.

I've designed new artwork in Photoshop. Will print new ones today. Thanks everyone.
