There were two pieces.
The first is the diagram referred to in previous messages. Black with
white lettering, in either plastic or metal. This went between the
cutout/fusebox and the firewall.
The second is a brown heavy paper/card stock with square holes. This was
slipped over the terminals on the underside of the fuses (junction box),
under the wires.
Both are pictured on my Airline Coupe web site at:

Dick,Lew, Listers,
At the rear of my original cutout was a piece, if not two pieces, of
asbestos
material plus the wire cage. This, I presume, was to reduce the chance
of
the resistors touching earth and also, a heat barrier.
I once read that trials owners would turn the units upside down to avoid
the
fuses dropping out on the rough.
I decided to mount my fuses up top due to the fact that the holes in the
unit
for the wiring loom is off centre by one inch. On my firewall the hole
for
the loom to dash is horizontally in line with the unit. This wouldn't be
the
case if it was upside down. Off by 2".
Wasn't there also a card insert that fitted over the fuses to identify
them?
