Nip over to me once I'm back from Ireland Steve I'll build you one to your spec, I did mine with three outputs, only two switch from the ignition but a physical switch forall three so I could chuck current back down it and charge the bike if I wanted to (thumbs)

I am all for spending money on quality parts, but these are used on rally bikes in every kind of extreme weather and terrain you can imagine and perform flawlessly. They're under the seat either, they're fully exposed.

They're about 12 quid.

No doubt the 30 / 40 pound items are great but I'm a cheapskate so went for a 4.99 jobbie from halfords and looped out the one side to give a feed to all the fuses. Will dig out a pic.

Can any one recommend a unit and supplier please as I am struggling to find one!
I've used the relay/fuse block that's in this eBay listing:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-40A-4-pin ... g_ToRDsTow

It's quite compact and gives me three switchable, fused outputs; or it could be configured to give a mix of switched and non switched (of course you need to sort out the earth separately).
