Default early fuse box upgrade?

Is there a kit to up grade the early AUX fuse box from torpedo fuses to ATC fuses. I'm tired of my torpedo fuse and have being looking around and can't find a good kit that fits what i'm looking for. I don't mind cutting up the harness but everything I've found so far has extra things with it (relays) or are to big to fit in the OEM location.

Where there's a will...but I can't say it's really very practical -- in my experience anyways. I wanted to do this for my race car as really nothing more than a challenge after not having any luck finding a plug 'n' play solution,
If this was transplanted into a street car I don't think it would fit very well. Sure you can use longer wires and move it to the engine compartment if you wanted but get ready to invest a lot of time. You'll need Brass Plug and Pull Type Connector 8mm Female Spade Square with 7.92/7.8mm Terminal.

Default Fuse box

Stand by for a headache. Pls look at my posts on early car wiring. What is really needed is an upgrade is a relay panel similar to the one used in the later cars. We also neeed opto/ electrical relays similar to the one sold by Fetch 9. Sure the relays we have are cheap, but reliability is the real issue. Sorry for the rant .i didn’t mean to hijack the thread. Hope all of the countermeasures you are doing yield positive outcomes and results for the benefits of all. Perhaps multiple, smaller, panels placed in other, more accessible places could be an answer. 😀

I'm want to upgrade the AUX fuse panel cause my fuel pump fuse is not making a good connection and no matter how clean i get the fuse location. I still have the jump it out to move the car. my plan was to just make that a ATC fuse. But the more I thought about it I realized that it makes more sense to replace the whole thing but at some point i need to replace the whole harness, i have a few burnt wires plus auto to stick shift swapped, I also have a spare main box that I may start messing with to also fix that one I'll post photos of what I come up with for everyone to see. Thank you to everyone that has responded so far this all good information that I'm going to run with and see what rats nest I make to fix one problem.
