This may be heresy for the originality brigade, but I think there is scope for changing to blade fuses quite easily (and reversibly) by using Blade fuse carrier blocks which are dimensionally (almost) identical to the original ones. I have been plagued with corrosion and poor connections at the fuses, poor quality glass fuses and poor understanding of what loads are actually going through the fuses. There are some great purpose built ammeters for blade fuses which you can leave attached while you use the car to assess real world loads. Heck you can get blade fuses that light up and tell you they have just blown, or even re-settable circuit breakers instead.
Who is to know what fuses you have behind the dash panel, or under a black waterproof box under the bonnet.

After a bit more poking around I realized that most of the engine compartment's harness is still intact. PO removed the starter and was trying to figure out how to install a gear reduction starter and an alternator at the same time. Not to mention removing one carb. He had two starter solenoids loosely connected, the original one that was suppose to be mounted to the firewall like my Elan and a more modern one. I found the new starter and the old Lucas in the trunk along with a Lucas Alternator. The Generator was still in the car half removed and disconnected. While I would have not cut a hole in the transmission tunnel to access the bolts for the starter, it does look like it would make fitting a bit easier, so I will end up cleaning up the hole and casting a fiberglass panel and make it removable with rivenuts. I also have ordered a new 2 fuse Fuse Box. Does anyone have pictures on where this is mounted to the firewall? Assuming it does mount to the firewall. I am looking for witness marks and can't find any. Thanks Allan

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that pic. Dryer unit? But where is the condensor? Don't see anything mounted in front of the rad . . .
Inquiring minds want to know . . .
