The back box has a good few years in it Dave, it is a little rusty on the rear where the pipe comes off but its thick metal, I will wire brush the rusty bit and paint it to keep it good until we can get together (you never know).codge wrote:Keith
Let me know what the Mazda Backbox is like, particularly at the front end (hidden in pic). I run a hybrid system with a Double S front end and a Mazda Backbox, which is rotting out.

Re: Keith's red S3 C807YPO
Done a couple of jobs this week, the rear lights always bug me so I pulled the single bulb holders and replaced them with stop/tail holders, looks better i think.
Side lights.

Brake lights

Also took the dangley fog light off and used the reverse light instead.

Another job (post mot) was to fit a front number plate, ok Mr Plod probably wont approve but lets see how long I can get away with it.

Next job, pull the fuse links and holder out and fit this midi fuse holder.

Its actually for a boat but it has 3 midi holders that will cover the fuseable links and 4 blade fused outputs to.

Top work on the rear lights, Keith, it looks so much better
. It's something that always annoys me, too, that one-on, one-off arrangement. I've been trying an LED conversion but it keeps stalling as other things push to the front of the queue.

Looks good, Keith! Interested to see the fuse swap aye.
I was looking at swapping mine out. I saw a bunch of different types of fuse holders and I don't know what'd be best haha

do the same 10 year ago and got in trouble with the steering column mounted switch. The more Ampere destroy the contact in the lightswitch very fast. Must take a relais for sure.
But looks good and symmetrical.
