This was the third fuseblock I tried in modifying the inadequate fusing of my 1957 MGA (it's British; what did you expect?). This was far and away the best of the lot -- robust in all respects, solidly mounted, simple. The others were quite wimpy and rattly in comparison. This one has an honest 100 amp copper bus bar and a binding post that can handle whatever you put into it. I liked that it was possible to disassemble and modify it to be more useful to my purposes; viz., I hacksawed the bus bar in order to have two buses, one fed at the post by battery to service a pair of circuits (horn), and then backfeed the (unfused) ignition switch onto the remaining section to power coil, heater blower, fuel pump, etc., that then became individually fused. I like that the fused outputs are via binding posts rather than quick-connect push-ons; those crimped ring wire terminations are not going to fail! And I regard this installation as one that I am not going to change in a long time.
Although this is marketed as a marine-application fuseblock, and has something of a cover, I would not rely on its being at all watertight -- but that's just fine for my application and maybe yours. In fact I just deleted the cover entirely for my situation.
I am thoroughly enamored of this piece of equipment and am recommending it to others in my MG car club. I will own up to the reason I find myself here... Original wiring of the car had coil and fuel pump unfused. When installing a new fuel line I screwed up and that metal fuel line had residual tension in it that caused it to jump into contact with the hot terminal of the fuel pump. Thus I smoked the wire and had to replace it. But I resolved to put a damn' FUSE into each of the many circuits, and I breathe far more easily now. It's a neat and tidy solution, far more organized than the multiplicity of in-line fuses that was my initial approach.

Functions as expected with a clean look. Blue sea systems components are as reliable and used in my van build.

I used this fuse block to run heavier wiring from a lithium battery to my fish finders. Have a heavier ground wire right below the dash where all the grounds connect to. This really helped organize everything and keep the fuses all in once place and easily accessible. Works great.
