Fuse block question - replacement?

[GrantOv]

I would like to wire up a USB charging port in my arm rest and would like to connect to the accessory post of the fuse block - unfortunately my 1972 Mach doesn't have the post. Is it easy to 'unplug' the fuse block and replace with one that has this accessory post that some fuse blocks have?

Your missing the part shown in this pic:



I have seen them on EBay, and likely are available from other sources.

yes, exactly - I've seen this pictured on another thread but wasn't sure if the fuse block could be easily replaced. Thank you so much for your replies on my questions tonight!

I wired several things in my car, USB ports (2), 12v charging port. They are in the center of the aftermarket console I installed. I put a new, additonal fuse box in the glove box to run the aftermarket parts I put in. I ran a hot wire from the existing box to the new one for main power.

Randy sells the accessory buss extension.

Excellent - exactly what I had seen a few photos of. What did you end up using for your fuse block extension? What aftermarket items does this power (audio?)? Did you end up increasing the feed fuse from main fuse block?
