One option is to swap in the entire electrical system. At first it might
sound a little crazy, but the early fuse panels are a joke with all the
piggy backed relays.
The 16V fuse/relay panel fits the Mk1 fuse panel bracket and I enlarged
the firewall conduit holes with my my cutting wheel, yes they are
perfectly round and it was easier than I thought.

I decided to go this route in my '79 Scirocco, because the original
wiring was all screwed up anyway, for instance it had a switch for the
fuel pump...

Hopefully I will be able to bring it to CINCY.
