Blue Sea Fusebox

Gents

I would like to fit a Blue Sea Fusebox to my 2.2 Puma Defender to allow the install of future accessories
and rather than hack into existing wiring thought that it may be a good idea to have a place for both permanent live and
ignition live controlled circuits.
The question is where should I be looking at taking the feeds from for both of these circuits.
I had thought of installing the fuse box under the driver seat in order that I can fit a twin battery set up in the future.

Any advice or assistance is always appreciated.

Regards

Maybe of interest, unless you’ve already got them but I’ve found the best prices to be Amazon USA for the BS Fuse Boxes. They sell directly to your door here in GB.

Thanks for that. I haven’t got them yet so will be investigating that forthwith.

I have my aux fusebox under the drivers seat.

Permanent live is from the battery box. Ran a cable along the front of the seats, through the box section over the transmission tunnel.

Switched live is from the cigarette lighter although there is another thread on here https://www.defender2.net/forum/post806050.html which shows you can piggy back-off a switched live from under the cubby. The switched live activates a relay which is connected to the battery also for the main power feed.

For an earth, I ran a new cable to the earth point under the drivers seat.

There is a spare threaded hole which will take an M8 bolt

Thanks Gents
That’s the information that I was looking for, got both the boxes to go for and
the wiring advice that I was looking for.
Excellent.
