I was searching for something the other day and I unearthed a Lucas fuse box that I'd forgotten I had. It is an original model SF4 Type L5.

It was in dirty condition but with only superficial damage so I cleaned it up. I am quite pleased with the result and as I intend to fit extra fuses to the TC I see no reason why it should not be used.

I think they were mostly fitted to XK 120 Jaguars but I can't remember how I came by it. I have retained the (now redundant) RF 95 control box which has two fuses so now I have 8 ...that should be enough I would have thought?

I thought long and hard about where to place the thermostat for the electric fan. The only place where it could be easily accessed but out of sight was in the tool box, next to the heater.


Following the same idea I let the thermostat into the floor of the box so the dial can be easily operated from above while the wires can be connected to the terminals from the footwell.
