Box to left of panel is power feed to panel. Inside is a maxi-fuse. The old panel had no fuse protection on the power feed to it.
The AAW includes a wiring schmetic & written instructions. The Ron Francis kit only has instructions.

IMO- none of these kits are perfect. I've installed dozens of RF kits but this was the 1st AAW kit I installed. Overall, I liked it. The packaging sucked though. Their method of grouping wires together in bags was totally different from mine (or RF). I found myself opening up bags & stripping out 1 or 2 wires I needed now. There- the RF kit is better IMO.
Also- the AAW kit has more oddball connectors than I've ever seen in one kit. They also need a special crimper too for some of the connectors. I trashcanned their oddball connectors & used my own pin connectors, weathertite plugs or standard plugs- like the 2 for dash I posted above.

Another difference- RF uses insulated terminals exclusively. The AAW for the most part uses non-insulated terminals & heat shrink.
Why did I use the AAW? I liked the relay for fan on the board. Cleans up the wiring.
Plus- they are quick to answer any questions.


The braid- comes in 4-5 sizes. It's made for covering wiring. I found it at a aircraft surplus store (new stock). It's braided nylon & they cut it w/ a hot wire. I cut it w/ an old putty knife in a vice I heated up w/ a torch. If you cut w/ scissors, it frays like crazy.
It's pretty reasonable as far as price. I bought 2 times more than I would need & I spent about 40 bucks.
