Good Info, the piggybacks for the mini fuses dont work very well anyways, at least the ones I bought at NAPA didnt, I had to cut one side off of them to get the fuses back in. I will be looking for theese.

Agreed on that! Most fuse block don't allow for the extra material on the fuse. Either it's a hard push to get them in, or a little modification is required.

Awesome! Used one of these last night on a coworkers, girlfriends car. Fits really well, and 100% operational.

One this I forgot to mention in the first post is fuse orientation. Make sure the "hot" side of the fuse block goes to the non-pigtail end of the Tapa-Circuit. Otherwise the pigtail will have unfuse, constant power.

What do you mean by this? The pig tail is 14 ga. wire, and you can put any size of fuse in there you want. 5, 10, 15, or even 30 amp.
