Dear All
Just having a tidy-up and thought about a cover for the above fusebox.....can't find one anywhere , did they come with a cover , I'm starting to think not ??
Thanks
John
P.S. 2 fuse , screw terminals , 2 spare fuses.

Looking at new SF6 fuse boxes for sale, the answer seems to be no cover is provided. My Minor has the SF6 which has no cover and appears not to have provision for fitting one.
The 4FJ2 which appears to be the same but with push-on terminals, does have a cover.

Many Thanks
Wondering if the later cover is retro-fitable ( if that is a word ? )

IIRC the later cover has a peg which pushes into a hole in the middle of the fuse box moulding. Don't think the SF6 box has that hole. Also not sure the later cover would clear the screw terminals even if it could be made to attach securely.

Back to the drawing board then.....
It sure does look ugly..

Worth fitting a later (4FJ2) fuse box with cover perhaps...? Would require some soldering of spade terminals (I think) but probably an easy fix otherwise, so long as there's enough space on the bulkhead for it
