Sooooo! Got the kit today, drilled arty hole and fire button hole, perfect! Drilled hole for the voltmeter and slipped so fucked that up, new box required! Then I though I would start putting the wiring together ready for the new box, battery negs joined and I was chuffed (little soldering experience) attached pos wires independently winning I thought! Fuse one, jobs a goodun fuse two hell yeah wires from fuse well in! Then one of the fuses snapped (cue expletives enough to make eminem blush) I did however manage the very neatly solder the 15k resistor between legs 1 and 3 on the mosfet hiding it away next the the black box of the unit

So I now need to order another fuse too. I went for the small square white fuses but thinking the yellow paddle type ones might be a better bet! What's your thoughts?

I need more patience and a bit more YouTube time I think lol

Sounds like you've been getting on well mate. Don't be disheartened by a little mis-hap or two. I used the small white 15a fuses for my mosfet box. Out of all the soldering (my first time soldering) I found the fuses the most difficult.

I thought I'd have most problems soldering all the wires to the mosfet, but it was the fuses that had me cursing!

Yeah will get some replacements and give it another shot

The PTC fuses are a bitch to solder, they're great and better than the other resettable fuses, when you're using 16-14 AWG wire they'll have you cursing as they do frequently when I'm building.

Going to order replacements (and a few spares) now
