Calling all inventors
I have a 70 convertible with stationary seats bolted directly to the floor and very close to a non tilt/tele steering column. I have the same problem getting to my fuses that everyone else does but made worse by my seat configuration. I can barely see them and have to have a slender friend remove and replace them. I am going to make something that allows me to remove/replace fuses at a comfortable distance. Don't want to invest a lot of time and effort fabricating something only to find out one or more of you guys have an easier more obvious tool or solution. Thanks for any input. As always pictures are appreciated. Most Know, but the 70 has the round style glass fuses..........

Yes Sir; They make a fuse puller to pull the round glass fuses. I have one for the next generation of fuse panel also. I think I've seen these on the help boards, or I'm sure Lectric Limited might have them. 1-708-563-0400 Have a great one. Gene

I used a 10 year old child who could scrunch up and get in there. Pulled and replaced a fuse for me in about 5 minutes. Showed him a pic of the fuse box and which one to pull, how to use the puller and to work he went.

A robot would be cool, but I'm guessing someone has an easier solution. Probably some every day item from the kitchen or garage. My seats are aftermarket and are bolted directly to the floor. I can get in there, but there is always a concern that I cant move once inside or can't get out.
