Oh mate, the answer to every mini problem is...
"Mate....Get me the bigger Hammer for over there"...

Heatshrink is a Professional and good job....
Loom tape or Electrical tape will do though, i have a fear about car electrics, too many times ive heard about classics going up in flames thanks to bad wiring!

urmm blade fuses should be ok to use

personally im going for glass ones seen as my whole car runs of inline fuses with the glass type ones..it confuses the best of people lol

halfrauds shud do the glass ones as well plus they are smaller so wont get in the way as much as the blade ones might

as for electric take i presume you could but again id rather use heat shrink as i always mess up when using tape lol

yep those are the fuses just get a fuse holder that works with those they dont cost much.


so far my electrics have been fine seen as i havent got a mini fuse box to be concerned with haha
fire extinguisher is in the back though just to be safe lol

never actually used heat shrink before so ill either use a ligher or a small kitchen gas blow torch hahaa (on low settin ofcors)

yer yer, lighter doesnt always work properly, best thing to use i found was one of those "Turbo" lighters, i.e.the little ones that are basically blow torches so you can use them in the wind to light your cig. apparently a hairdryer works...i personally think they'll be to cold.
Yer Fire extinguisher always a good move for the emergency equiment.
