    Additional fuse panel or Aux power source

    Any of you install an Additional fuse panel or Auxiliary power source in your '33? Looking for a place to hook up the A/C and Electric steering to start with.
    Pictures of what you did would be greatly appreciated

    I hooked up the AC to the heater wire from the FFR dash harness and the PS to the electric choke wire. Any switched ignition wire your not using for something else will do for the PS. You can download the instructions for each from FFR Parts site.

    I am building a customized version of the '33. I have a separate "electronics bay" above the IRS and below the trunk floor. That space houses my audio amp, an auxiliary fuse block, and some other miscellaneous bits of electronics gear. Power is fed to these items direct from the battery through several circuit breakers. Although I made every effort to seal the bay, all the components are marine grade equipment that will tolerate any stray moisture that gets in the box. Sorry, no pictures since I've started tearing stuff apart to get the chassis powder coated.
