Mk1 golf ‘83 fusebox holder

Hi guys, bought my mk1 some years ago resto and engine swap 99% there. The problem I have is the car has been turned to a track car at some point and or LHD and some clever has cut the brackets off the firewall/bulkhead that holds the fusebox.

Has anybody got some of these brackets in a shell that is being cut that I can buy or am I going to have to make them, if it’s making them could somebody please take clear pictures, thanks

 

You're in luck, (very dusty) shell's stripped bare at the moment...

 

That is perfect mate, really appreciate it .

I’ll post when I’ve fabricated something that might look similar

 

A careful cut would bolt in, you wouldn’t even need to weld.
Give MK2 Spares a call and ask them to cut one out for you (send the above pic to them to explain).

 

Fabbing one up now @PhilRyder.

I’ll be going down the rivet in route because the cars got the loom and carpet in now, didn’t want a rouge bit of weld sputter causing a wiring fault or fire .

I’ll post pics after

 

I did say bolt in, not weld...........

 

@PhilRyder sorry mate didn’t see you blatantly wrote “you wouldn’t even need to weld” was skim reading.

I have fabricated one now and fitted, not a factory look but close enough.

measurements for fusebox:
W: 200 mm
D: 33 mm
H: 95 mm
Side lugs are 65 mm up and 15mm in to the centre.

Pics to follow. (don’t all order at once)

 

Good skills

 

I think you did well making that just from pictures.
