Fuse & relay combo box

[pwatt01 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close pwatt01]

Hello all,
Just looking at doing some changes to my Prado and am looking for a combined relay/fuse box but I am not sure it what i want exists. What I was hoping for is a box with:
-1 power input (say 40+amps)
-8 relays bussed/connected to power input
-8 fuses (blade??) connected to the output (in input??) of the 8 relays
-8 relay inputs (when on, relay turns on)
-8 outputs from relay
-all in one neat tidy package that will fit into the boot or engine bay.
Does a thing like this exist, or do I need to get creative?

Thanks

Thanks again AMTS! Now i know what to search for and for future reference, here is a great tutorial on these Bussman blocks. it's in Imperial, but that is easy enough to covert to Metric.

Narva and others do fuse blocks, might be easy to combine that on a baseplate with some fuses?

Blue sea do some combination plates too but from memory were $$$$$$$$$. DIY is easy.

Im also looking at putting a fuse box in the back area. Have read so many posts now its getting confusing
Anyway Im just going to go ahead and run 6 B&S from second battery to rear passenger side of car to compartment above the dicky seat bracket.
The question I haven't been able to find an answer for is. Will 6 meters be long enough? Ebay have it in 10m and 6 meter lengths. I did a rough trial with string and it came to about 6 meters. I just don't wont to buy 6 meters run it from battery to rear of car and find Im 4 inches short.
since so many have already done this how much cable did you buy?
