Yes this is a sensible idea and was one of the first things I explored in Perth, Unfortunately each place I spoke to expected to see somewhere between 60 and 100% profit from each sale and wanted all the marketing and groundwork done for them or said 'sure, leave some in the shop and we'll let you know' or one guy said "why dont you arrange a ticket for us to taiwan and we can make it there and I'll sell it", yeah right - I'm not a source of free international trips for 'look see' expeditions! The other issue is that the fuse rail is designed for a car thats 16 years old or so, although I'm sure that rail was used on other holdens, I just dont have the time to go into that market exploration, if anyone from Holden is listening, do they have a list of which cars use the "92030036 Panel Main Fuse" from Holden parts ? I might consider selling the intellectual property rights outright but so far all the people were 'hom hum' because they didnt think 30% profit margin was enough for sales <sigh> If however anyone is interested in buying the whole design outright them email me privately on my direct email <[email removed]> Par for the course I suppose in a country where most people in business gamble on the stock market and spend the same amount weekly on booze and dont understand the subtleties of intellectualising a developing market for third party accessories for older cars... Well thats my initial opinion anyway, though there are a few other options to pursue for related developments and it could form part of a package,

When the new batch is done fire me a pm, my board is looking like ground zero of a nuclear test.

If its anything like the comparison one on this link then I'm sympathetic and trembling with anxiety if you are inclined to be confident overtaking a fuel tanker ;-) http://members.iinet.net.au/~erazmus...Comparison.JPG (http://members.iinet.net.au/~erazmus/car_accessories/Comparison.JPG) Although there has a been a slight delay in manufacture, dont panic its in the works...Prob a few more days to a week... <sigh>

Has there been any progress on the Fuse Rails or is it a Dead Thing now? Cheers , Joe Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nah he finished this up a while ago champ. Its not really a hard thing to do urself. Just need a bit of time and patience. Go down to **** smiths and they will have all the parts you need to make your own and mount it pretty much anywhere - glovebox always looks sweet Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I emailed him a while ago and got no reply, figure that he's not making anymore. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I wouldnt mind having a go at it.... whats to it really... getting some PCB board soldering pins to it for the fuses and making joins between the ignition, accessories and all that... then just labelling the board *shrugs* its just a 'copy' of the original board.

Cheers , Joe I'm back, havent died, fallen off the edge or anything drastic but had 2 major PC crashes since I was last on this board, lost a heap of client and project data, had a panel of boards made, had them pinched from my back seat and after all the trouble I went to get the thickness and routing issues sorted, attended to a major client stuff up, so I had no interest in getting another set of boards at the time and to cap it all off a depressing personal drama, enough said, back to normal programming I guess The original design files have been recovered from the last PC crash and combined with a previous backup, was work in progress until a major job came up to pay off backlog, that has dragged on what with client changing their mind, messing around with payments and weird office politics, enough said on that too <sigh> So I expect to be back in business shortly, this email was a great reminder to bring the second version out with enough volume to make a sizable batch for stock as well over next 12months, so thing for me to do now is review design since I have been asked a little while ago to consider amending it for other models up to VS, I've since acquired a VS rail and could add the edge relief to accomodate relay holders on the rail, could get to this on weekend, theres no point in just copying the last one as the circuit board artwork wasnt full production quality, so worth implementing the updates and getting a new panel underway, which I might be able to do over weekend if client doesnt hassle me before end of this month. Also, I have little time on the net to do much browsing over forums unless I get an email and on occasions this forum has been down, with so much else to do I cant keep surfing the net, so if anyone wants any info or suggestions, please email me directly <[email removed]> and I'll happily tell you I'm too busy to philosophise but need to get things done ;-) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'm sure there's quite a few definate buyers! Let us know if you do make some more, I'll grab one for sure. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks Platinum, Wish I had of taken the chance to do another batch a while ago, wouldnt have messed people around - I really hate that, now that end of April is Fri, no more hassles from clients over w/end or early next week and that will be a nice change of pace to get the design reviewed, so you can hold me to that if you like :-) I'll email on this thread progress next week, Cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I will buy two of them when mike makes more. I will keep my eye's peeled.
