no more fuses!

[ash00]

I went to an Autozone and a Kragen yesterday to pick up the euro style inline fuses (the ones with the conical ends)- only to find out that they pulled them from the shelves! I'm gonna try pep boys....

any reason why these are pulled? anybody have any other sources?

local vw speed shop should have 'em.

Check with Curt. He was also looking for hog rigs and buggy whips. Me, I'm trying to find a replacement cap for my butter churn.

Ash- Double 02 still has the fuses.

Why not just retro another fuse box that uses newer fuses?

I have thought about it when I get to that stage in my project.

ebay..that's where I got mine...pretty cheap.

the E28 guys were recently talking about those, and how crummy they were compared to the old-style ceramic (NOT plastic) bodied ones like we've always used.

If you can't find them locally, call me @ work ( N.a.p.a. in Napa) and I'll send you some, we have plenty. 707 252-6811

Call Bugformance in San Jose. They're off Alum Rock/Capital.

... they're easier to get than hog rings. Anyone interested in a group buy on fuses? I'm thinking sets of twice what's needed for an 02. Should be a few dollars. Every 02 owner should have a spare set or two.

Autozone, Kragen, et al try not to stock stuff that doesn't sell quickly. They prefer lowest common denominator parts bought on low bid from some Pacific Rim cloner. Another parts example is Bosch W7DC spark plugs; try finding those buggers in a local, non-BMW-specific store.

... Not likely you'll find an aftermarket fuse block that fits the space and has the correct wire terminations. Stock fuses are mondo cheaper.

Group buys on both of those items would be a good idea. Things we will always need....

Every time I go down to Pick and Pull I check the BMWs and Saabs for clean fuses and throw a couple in my bag.
