I know the Norwegian comeback CCKWs had a wooden block fuse system that used the VW type clip in fuses...anyone ever cover thtose back to something modern using BUSS type fuses? Did the the Norwegians change any of the original CCKW WWII wiring? E.g., the turn signal lights on the front headlight protectors????

Hello, my CCKW was an Army of the Netherlands return. It too had the Fuse Panel and we tried finding fuses for replacement. We eventually ripped it all out and went with a CCKW wiring harness from Vintage Wiring of Maine. He also included the wiring for turn signals.

No, the vehicle didn't have turn signals when it came back from Europe. I wanted turn signals because I planned on driving it regularly. I made the front signals so they flip up out of sight when doing displays. Keeps the authentic WWII look but also makes it safer when driving too.
