Default 12 volt junction block ???

Hello everybody,

I'm doing a little clean up work on the car, I have about 5 wires that I need to get 12 volts to, Fuel pressure relay, hot to the engine, a stereo amp wire etc. Right now I have them going to the top post on the battery (it's a dual post battery) but I'd like to figure something else out.
I tried getting a junction block but no one is selling them that I can find. Local speed shop says they have been discontinued.

What's everybody doing - any ideas ?

Thanks,

Frank

Marine suppliers such as West Marine has a large assortment of electrical power distribution bars. The trick is to find one that has a cover feature with the assembly.

And they are usually much better quality than the automotive ones.

Or just go to the junkyard. Many GM and other brands have that type of block underhood.

This is a really nice way to manage multiple hot/ignition hot connections:
