I didn't like how the fuse box was exposed. Seemed like a short waiting to happen. I couldn't find a legit cover, so I made one out of a shallow house receptacle cover - TayMac MM110C ($6 on Amazon). I used a Dremel to trim down the unused side hinges and to trim all but the top and left side of the mounting plate. I secured this to the outside of the fuse box with some hot glue. With the added thickness of the hot glue, the lid fits nice and snug. It could have been prettier, but it feels good when a 10 minute project takes 10 minutes!
Cover closed - TayMac MM1100C
Base plate trimmed so only the top and left side remains. Secured to outer rim of fuse box with hot glue.
I can only imagine the thousand and thousands of 73-79 Ford trucks that got along fine with the open fuse box. But I like your idea for sure. What do you have going on with that fuse tap? You know that make a actual glass fuse tap.
That's just the wire going to my voltage gauge. That fuse location only has the clips on the supply side for some reason, so I just turned one of those fuse taps you show on its side with a loop of wire to help it lay flat in the slot.
Almost nothing on the road had a fuse box cover back in the day, but I do like the idea if it results in a box cover that will stay up when opened .... does it? Maybe could attach it with velcro to just remove it out of the way when needed ... like when one is on the knees looking up under the dash at night when the head lights just went out? Never the less, good idea.

Ha, I hear ya! No, it swings back down. I hope to not spend much time messing with the fuses (knock on wood).

Ok got it, thanks for the explanation. I was not sure what you had going on. At least is was not a live .22 bullet (kidding), or a spent .22 casing in the short fuse block.
