Yep everything...all covers... even recessed screws inside my engine rebuild...makes it much easier on dissassembly.
Replace with automotive blade type fuses.
Previous owner has all 20 amp but I believe it should be one 20 and three 10.
What is the possible danger in having a cable break? This is a genuine question from me not knowing, not me being argumentative. If the cable breaks doesn't the clutch just close, so you wouldn't be able to engage and shift? If there's a reason to change it out then for sure, I'm with you. But I frequently read "horror stories" of peoples clutch cables snapping when they are out in the middle of nowhere - the story always ends that they got stranded somewhere, had to rig something funky back up to get home, or they are super smart and had a backup cable. I don't think I've heard of any real damage happening so I was unconcerned.
That's my fear - buying something online and having it not fit, then paying shipping on it back isn't really worth it. Finding something locally so I can just drive back and return if it's no good would be ideal, but is proving to be difficult. The ones I can find in stock are quite obviously too big, I am having a hard time finding something compact. Do you have a link or model number for what you used? Your build looks fantastic, by the way.
If you lose the cover and use low-profile mini fuses that just might be able to work.
That looks really slick. What are the fuse holders you are using there? The ones I bought are too big all around. Too tall-but if I remove the cap and use low profile ones that may work-but also too wide. I can try to remove all the plastic surrounding the holder, just strip it down and see what's inside and how much space that would give me. The Canadian Tire by my work does have the low profile guys in stock so if I can get it to look like it'll fit I can pick some up without issue.
Ah, okay. I saw that you had moved it but with the angle of the photos it was hard to get an idea of how large it is. I saw those glass in line ones when I was looking around and thought that could work without a box, just zip tied together, but wasn't sure how bad of an idea that would be to have them moving around a bit potentially. I could also do that with the mini fuse holders that I picked up... they are all protected so I suppose they don't really need to be in a case? Just tie them together and find something to secure them to?
It hasn't happened to me on my motorcycle, but a frayed cable can jam in it's housing, preventing it from moving. I had a frayed cable on a bicycle brake (a couple decades ago) that jammed. The brake remained engaged and I was stopped. Had to borrow a wrench to release the cable so I could get to school.

Ah, got it. You're right - my thinking was if there was a reason that the cable should be replaced before it breaks that for the cost it should, but I couldn't really think of a reason why it would matter too much. But that makes sense.
Interesting. My first thought when the holders I bought were too big was "damn, I wish somebody I knew owned a 3D printer."
as with any cable on the front end,lenght is critical... wouldn't want the clutch to engage simply by turning now would we...same for throttle
