    Fuse tap that doesn't overlap other fuses?

    I need to install a couple of fuse taps into an already crowded fuse box (I have a disability hoist installed), which is causing me some issues. The main one is that the fuse taps overlap the fuses in the next slot, meaning that I can't tap those fuses, so I'm either going to need to take power...
