Fuse box/Lock set on ebay

I think it's kosher to post this here. Coming towards the end of the auctions and I'll be out of town until the weekend, so I wanted to get another push on these...

Complete lockset w/low miles:

That's a real nice fuse block, should serve someone with Dave's headlight and parking light harnesses for years to come.

Will this long pig tail fuse block work in a 1972 240 that uses the short tail box?

It's been a while since I had both styles side-by-side, but I seem to recall that there may have been a couple of minor differences in connector styles or something like that. I'm fairly certain that if you have some basic electrical skills you could make it work if necessary, though.

There are a couple short pigtail fuse blocks for sale in our classified section right now. I am pretty sure one of them is mine. ;-)

Yeah, probably simpler to stick with the matching style. While a later car may be able to use an early long tail box in place of the original short tail box, it definitely won't work going the other way. I had a heck of a time finding a nice long tail box a few years back. This one looks great and would be a great addition to most any Series 1 with the typical fusebox damage. If I still had a car that used this style, I'd be tempted to buy it as a spare.

Same with the lockset. Still tempted on that one, I may yet sneak in a late bid.

OK, thanks. I think I'll just rebuild mine, as it's in decent shape. Got a bid on the lockset though:)
