Does any have a template and measurements for an 8 fuse box? Not including mont.

Does anyone have a template and measurements for screw terminal fuse box?

My goal is to mount an 8 fuse, fuse box from a '61 into a 6 fuse, fuse box mount, for an early '59. I have access to a 3-D printer and would like to create a mount that the 8 fuse, fuse box could mount or snap into a 6 fuse, fuse box (minus the fuses obviously). Essentially creating a plastic mount.

I don't have a mount clip that I could weld in, or I would, and I cannot drill holes in the 8 fuse, fuse box to mount into the '59. Furthermore, I'm not keen on doubling up on the 6 fuse box.

Anyone have technical drawings, templates of the two different fuse boxes?

it has eight fuses and mounts to the same mount as the 6 fuse fuse box.
At least I think it does.
This fuse box was used for part of 1960

Dan, you should have asked me on Thursday. I have some blown out units you could borrow for measurement. The problem will be sourcing and mounting the spring copper contacts, I would think. Let me know exactly what you need and I'll add it to the pile of parts from the all aircooled gathering swap. Or should I send it straight to you bro with the printer?

Thanks John! Yeah I didn't remember till after we left SPVC HQ about the fuse box.

I might fab a bracket with a piece of scrap sheet metal... But the chance to try and 3D print a bracket is more exciting!
