Is there optimal location for mounting Voltage Converter and Fuse box on DS

Jdulac88 · 04-19-2017, 02:11 PM

I did some searches but couldn't find any convincing threads with an ideal location for a voltage reducer and fuse box on the DS. I have an 88 DS that has been converted to a solid state. Also, since I don't have a built in computer do i just run my negative off the 6th battery?

Looking to run running lights, fogs and neons. Was running 36V and lights were right off the 1 and 2 battery for 12 volts. Figured I mine as well do it right and run the 48-12v reducer with a fuse box.

Anywhere high and dry for the converter and anywhere dry and easily accessible for the fuse block. Yes, run the negative to the converter off the negative of the 6th battery. Use a buss bar for your accessories.

Just behind the batteries

I just installed mine on the frame rail (reducer) adjacent to the controller. You may need to remove the body for this. I mounted the fuse block on a separate vertical support directly under the seat. I just did this last month, you can find my thread by clicking my history
