    For those of you have installed a ronfrancis fuse box where did you mount it? I installed my driver's side cowl vent and kick panel today and I cant mount the fuse box in the same spot anymore.

    I was thinking of putting it right under the parking brake it clears the clutch pedal.

    Its one of the best upgrades done to the car. I don't have to break my back when changing a fuse anymore.

    Or do it behind the drivers seat in underneath the rear quarter plastic. There's a spot you can tuck it against the B pillar. That way it's centralized.

    Doesn't sound like easy access.

    That wud be inconvient if/when it comes time to replace a fuse or do anything to the fusebox. I wud'nt want to remove the rear plastic to access the box.

    Cut the vent housing, so it'll clear.
