Fusing opinion

I'm going to be adding some electrical bits to my '08 Porter, mainly internal and external lights, and am planning to mount an accessory fuse-box behind the glove-box. Where's the best place to get a permanent live from or is it best to take it directly from the battery? Am not expecting the additional load to exceed 15A.

I would take it from the battery if it was me, then if you leave a few spare places on your fuse box you can always add stuff easily at a later date without worrying

You have  the Main Fuse in a Yellow holder with clear  top just under the driver's seat in the engine bay  just roughly behind the seat clamp.
Much easier to  run it from there and you can  choose whether you tap into it before the fuse holder or after  the fuse holder.  
SIMPLES!!!
(Timed at 21-32. Not 7-32 as the stupid website says). When is this going to be fixed??

Is the time any better now?

Spot on Matt. Did the pictures of the Orange and Black  Bi-Jet come through?

So named Bi-Jet because of the Honda 1000CBR Bike engine in it.

Nope

Woody + Technology = Fail

Touch'e !!!

Woody, I told you the easy way to do photos.

I like woodies idea of hacking in under the drivers seat to the big yellow fuse.

But at the same time straight to the battery is easy too.

6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

Not really PFM. Means you have to clamber around underneath running a wire back to the battery cable tying it to everything in site.

My way you can take the wire through a hole drilled in bulkhead under the seat and run it under the carpet up to the glove box. 15 minutes job.

Wasn't me!

Thanks for the suggestions. Actually, I prefer Woody's idea as it's easier. It's quite a heavy cable so I doubt what I'm likely to add will overload it.
