Auxiliary relays

[Justin]

I'm looking to add some relays for a fuel pump, lights etc, and wouldn't mind some more 12v circuits for stereo and CB. Something along the lines of this:

but with couple more relays. Anyone have any suggestions on where to start that doesn't cost $120 (or painless', which is something like $279)? I know I can make one from components, but really like the idea of having everything inside one box.

DUDE! That is AWESOME!!!!! Like the site says - even simple wiring can be enough to give me heart burn... (or sleepless nights). I will gladly pay for "everything on one box"! (of course the budget would prefer I do it as inexpensively as possible)

I've been doing some more research since I posted up (why do I always research, find very little, post up, then find the cool stuff?!?!) and found this:

I think it may be the ticket, given that it comes with all the fuses and 5 relays. The box is $25 just by itself, and does not come with wires or anything else, so this is looking like a relatively good deal once you figure in the cost of the relays. Not sure I still won't DIY it, but I was pretty happy to find this.

When I get home I'll show you what I did on my 79. It was simple and cheap.

Thanks! I like both simple and cheap.

Justin that setup is pretty slick looking though.

I made this with all auto parts store stuff. Total was maybe 75 bucks. How I wired it is I came off the ignition switch and triggered a relay to power the fuse block setup on the left. That fuse block send power to all my switches. The other fuse block is directly off the battery. That feeds power to all the relays for the devices. I can draw it up in a diagram if it would make more sense.
