Extra wiring to radio etc.

[billymonkey111]

In the near future there are 3 main things I would like to install which are electrical, they are:
Cigarette lighter socket (10 amp)
Radio (8 amp max, maybe?)
Electric fan (only 8 inch, maybe 6 amp)

I've already got an alternator installed so generating the power doesn't worry me. My problem is the original fuse box has run out of terminals. I don't mind running inline fuses but I desperately don't want to have a whole bunch of wires going right back to the + on the starter relay. The radio requires both power and switched line.

Any suggestions? My one thought is to get an extra modern 6 fuse box, run a fat wire to it and plug things in to that?

That would be my preference, mount it in the engine compartment so you're not running un-fused wires through the bulkhead. And make sure any wire that do pass through are well grommeted (is that an actual word )

An MGB fuse box has 4 glass fuses and loads of spade terminals and would not look out of place.

Are there any classic looking fuse boxes with a common + rail (bus rail I've heard it called)?

Both the moggie and MG boxes seem to need one + wire per item, could end up being a lot of wires!
