Complete aux fuse block installation.

Because this fuse block has individual power input for each fuse, I decided to fabricate a bus bar between each individual fuse, on each bank, simplifying wiring.

The bus bar was fabricated from 032 x 3/8" brass sheet. The bus was then secured to each positive fuse leg using 4-40 brass hardware.

Each bus bar was then connected to a 14 AWG wire. This wire will connect to the power post on the VPX. This location was chosen for convenience. Only low current, non essential devices will be connected to the fuse block. Two 14 AWG connections will provide up to 30 amps (15 amps for each bank of 5 fuses).

Next, a cover was fabricated from 063 Kydex. Standard techniques were used for forming the thermoplastic. The center of the cover was removed to allow access to the load leg of each fuse, while covering the bus bars. The cover was split to allow ease of installation/removal when wires are present. Velcro was used on each flange to secure the cover to the mounting shelf.

The shelf was then installed to verify fit.
