How to repair a 65-67 falcon or mustang fuse box

I've got a 1965 Ford Falcon from my father, it was his first car and now it's my turn to take care for it.

Some parts need to be rebuild and it's a great challenge to figure out how to do it or find spare parts, specially in my country.

When I was rebuilding the electrical system the problem was to find a replacement, because I could't find it I had to rebuild it and this is how I did.

Step 1: Identify your fuse box

This guide can be used for a lot of cars from the 1960's but I'll try to write specifically about the ford falcon/mustang/cougar ones.

Your fuse box must look like this:

Nice work! Could you tell me the part number of the clip you've used? Did you get them from a Mustang/Cougar/Falcon parts store or from an electronics supplier? The Mustang parts guys want like 2.70 per clip but I can't find them at large electronics supply houses like Digikey and Newark. If you could tell us your clip source, I'm sure we would all be very grateful.

I got them from my local computer wire hardware store, but you can find them on several places on-line like ebay for about a buck per clip. (sorry, I still don't know a part number) -Sam
