I'm not sure, but I wonder if you could pull out the connected tabs and replace them with disconnected ones from another fuse box, even a later one. Make sure that the wiring diagram for your car doesn't want these connected. > Regarding an issue from a previous posting of mine, it was indicated > that using the push button switch setup in a 12V system conversion will > shorten the life of the dash light dimmer (I wish I knew of this issue > early on in my project... oh well!). {:-( I think the only problem is if you convert to 12V while hoping to retain the OE 6V wiper motor. That motor will draw too much current in a 12V system and burn out the variable resistance. If you install a 12 V motor there will be no problem except that the variable speed control won't make as much difference as it did on 6V. I don't know if that would be troublesome to you or not; it's strictly a matter of personal preference. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
