Hi, I'm trying to find a piece of connecting strip - it's like a series of metal tags in the form of a strip all joined together which would effectivley cause all of the connections in a surface mounted fuse block to become live from a single feed e.g. the LB. Does anyone know what I'm on about? I've seen it on a website but can't seem to find it now any help would be most appreciated.

Hi,
Are you talking about a BUSBAR,

Thank you both, I think the Screwfix job is what I meant I could snip off the bits that don't line up with the fuses amd then trim to length.

I think you'll find there meant for domestic Consumer units, rather than 12volt car fuses, the spacing is MUCH larger!
What make of fuse box are you using does it have a part number at all ?

Oh well I'll have to think of something else - I haven't got the fuse block yet, I would have thought the 'busbar' would have done the job, I'm sure I saw one on an auto/marine web page. So, have you come across anything like it? The Screwfix pic gives no indication of size

Hi,

Can you not use some suitable rated wire and make loops as required.

Cheers.

There are various fuse holders on this site, some with common connections in place http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/V ... lders1.php

Thanks all, just picked up a four way fuse block from Halfords and I've decided I can solder a bridge wire across the input terminals, add appropriate fuses and then run to the switch board and on to each appliance.
