Default Wiring help

Rewiring the car - the thing is a mess and hard to troubleshoot.
The car originally started out with the Moroso panel below -switches from left to right:
1) ECU, Fuel Pump Relay, gauge power, Transponder
2) Starter Solenoid. (push button)
3) Radiator Fan
4) Headlights
5) Taillights
6) ECU diagnostic mode (This is not a porsche ecu)

Since then I've had to add wipers, data acq, camera, gauge lights and cool suit. I've done this by moving things around and running multiple things off the same switch, so there's 3 or 4 ring terminals on the back of each switch.

Does anyone know of a good power distribution block? I'd like to run the wire from the kill switch to a block, then run individual wires from the block to each fuse on the panel, and a second panel. Then run the output from most of the switches to another distribution block, instead of twisting them all together and soldering one big mess.

+1. That'll come in handy in a couple of months for me.

Very nice quality and it really simplified the wiring.
