Electrical bits and bobs

[Al]

Bought a lot of stuff from Vehicle Wiring Products over the last few years and have had good service for the most part. Problem i am finding is the quality of the stuff is very poor. In some case it has been below standard and not fit for purpose. Sent it back and had the same thing sent out only to find that it is the same and / or worse. The identical item; in this particular case the fuse board, has deteriorated to such and extent that it will not function correctly because it has been made to a lower standard than previously, and is no longer up to the job. Had failures from them with Digital verniers, pin punch set (drop forged peanut butter) and a few other bits.
Question; can anyone suggest a better (hard to be worse) source of similar knick-knacks which work correctly and in particular at this time i need a useable fuse box that does not overheat and melt the fuses into the holders!

I have used these people, but only for the japanese bullet connectors which were quality.

Decent bullet connectors are easy to get but decent multi way connectors are difficult, best ones I've had came from Wemoto, but they were expensive

Al -I think Saisei,Z-power and Z1 all do replacement fuse boards ?

I haven't used Vehicle Wiring products for some time, so disappointed to hear their quality has gone downhill.

Thanks gents there will be something in that lot when i get a look through. Quick view of fuse boards shows that some of those alternatives are supplied by the same people that supply VWP.
Mark i dont mean to suggest that VWP have gone down hill, just that in some cases, stuff which i have bought is sub standard. This specifically applies to the items i mentioned and of particular interest to me at this time is a viable fuse board because it has been tripping me up recently. Looking hard at the board and the fuses its not difficult to see why. Example; blowing fuses when there is no charging system connected, blowing fuses when there is a charging system connected, fuses soldering themselves into the fuse board and the pattern of contact between the fuses and the holding tabs!!!!
