How to access fuse panel on a '70.

[blondiedread]

I've got some wiring to do on my '70 panel but I can't get at the fuse panel, the little bugger's tucked right up behind the dash. :evil:
Any tips on getting to the back of it? I'm trying to fit some 12v sockets.

Cheers,

Matt.

I had to put a new fuse box in, because the 1 in my van literally crumbled into bits when i tryed replacing a fuse :evil:
They are a bitch mate, you just have to make the best of a bad situation i'm afraid :?

Hi!

Mines just hanging from its entrails! I have cable tied it up a bit though - i cant actually see where the thing fixes on to be honest. I dont like to move it too much, the old brass connectors are really weak now at nearly 40 years old, i have already have to rewire 3 or 4 when the wipers packed in.

Pics would be handy when you finally release it from however its fixed?!

Good look - and watch out for loose and dodgy wires - you dont want any shorts!

Cheers!

i have a 71, so may be different, but i just drop out the glove compartment to access the fuses

My 72 (rhd) is the same as wilgartw. Remove glove box and its good access.
