|

I have a 1970 bus. the fuse box was hanging down when I got it. I have the fuse box holder bracket now. I would appreciate it greatly if I could get a pic of how it mounts under the dash. I have looked but the holes I have do not match the fuse box holder. any help would be greatly appreciated |

pretty self explanatory really, unless you have the wrong bracket.
2 on the top, 1 in the center. the center one bolts to the fresh air box, about an inch, inch and 3/4 from where the cover plate for the fresh air duct screws on _________________

If the windshield leaks. Don't mount it until you replace the windshield seal.
With the fuse box mounted, water runs down the fuse box and fills the relays on the bottom with water.

Nah. A .22LR is better ... not. (Gives a whole new experience to "blowing a fuse".)

The second fuse position from the left may have had a blue fuse at one time and now the box has been damaged. Looks like the fifth fuse position in is pretty funky as well. |

It is in a funky place. Wait until you have to change one of the relays.
Caution: Make sure the wires are tied up and out of the way of the windshield wiper arm under the dash.
Good luck
