Has anyone ever used a fuse/relay panel out of newer car for most of their fuses/relays? They are not aviation "pretty". I would hide it behind a hinged panel in the panel for easy access. You could use 2 or 3 identical ones if you needed that many, one could easily be your E-bus. I am looking at my new truck's fuse panel. It would be perfect.
Using one or two of these would eliminate a whole bunch of hand made terminals and wiring. It would make most of the electrical work "OEM auto grade". A lot of newer cars have them in the engine compartment. They are made to live in a harsh environment.
I would still have the circuits comply with aviation logic. A few fuses might still make it to the face of the panel for expediency.
