Default Rear fuse holder terminal size?

Does anybody know the terminal size of the rear "media" fuse holder, are they 2.8mm or 4.8mm? I have 2 spare fuse slots and wish to power/fuse some devices I'm adding. The terminals from the busbar are present but not the other side. The fuse holder is 4F0941824F.



Also, can I use this ground point? Or use a ground from one of the media modules (tv/amp/radio??)



Thanks.

Went to TPS this morning and bought one of each to see which fitted, and can confirm that the fuse holder takes 4.8mm terminals. From my first picture you can see that the 4.8mm is a twin crocodile terminal. The terminal is secured in the fuse holder by the purple lock, which is easily moved by a flat screwdriver.

For reference here are all the part numbers of repair wire and bare terminals for crimping that fit.

Repair Wire:
000979023 4.8mm terminal with 0.5mm wire
000979135 4.8mm terminal with 1.0mm wire
000979227 4.8mm terminal with 2.5mm wire
000979306 4.8mm terminal with 4.0mm wire


Bare terminals
N90732603 4.8mm terminal for 1.0mm wire
N90732703 4.8mm terminal for 2.5mm wire
N90696603 4.8mm terminal for 4.0mm wire
N90422102 4.8mm terminal for 6.0mm wire

Cheers chap. What is the part number of the 4.8mm? It doesn't seem to be on the list. I will definitely get some for my RVC retrofit.

Hi Snap,

They all are the 4.8mm terminal size that will fit in the fuse holder. But there's a different part number depending on the gauge of wire.

I've edited my post now to give it a bit more clarity.

Do you know where you'll pick up negative/ground for your RVC retrofit?
