Drew,
Just been browsing around (as you do) and came across this post on the US forums:
http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=135175.0
Seems the fuse box is not unique to the 400/4 - I didn't know that but you may have.
Might mean you can widen your search for the part though.

Hi Chris,

Thanks again for your support. As it happens, the wiring from my fuse box is rather dodgy and the unit has signs of melting (not uncommon, apparently). It looks like I'm going to have a new one instead. I'm thinking that this is an important enough part to justify the investment!

In the meantime, I'm sure your post is, or will be, helping others and probably reducing the price of '400-4' versions on eBay... good work!

Cheers,

D.

Make sure you clean up the contacts that the fuse holder fits into.  A lot of power going through a high resistance connection = Chernobyl and you'll be back where you started.

Drew400:
Thanks Mike,

Good thinking. Mine will be connecting into the new wiring loom so hopefully we'll be OK.

Part of the problem is the rubbish/damaged connectors in the fuse box end of that wring connector block. It would probably have worked fine for a few more years if I hadn't interfered by stripping the bike and attempting this renovation/rebuild project!

Cheers,

D.

Drew400:
Are there two helmet holders as I have another, smaller upward-facing frame tab a little further forward than the one pictured by Chris?

As you can tell, I've never used them... probably because there were no stickers there previously and I'm too stupid to work this out for myself (and have clearly forgotten something that I took for granted in the 70's)!

I do have two stickers, so that's a big clue.

Ta,

D.
