- DON'T make them on perfboard, though. They will crack in a car.
- I think you can (or I can ) easily design a small print.
- Then the whole thing can be build in small plastic box.
- I would not use a glass fuse, but an automatic one. These capacitor-like devices go in high impedance if the current goes beyond a certain threshold.
- The result would be a matchbox-size box with 6 wires coming out of it that would never need opening.
I would also not use velcro to fix it, but a decent kit or strong two-sided tape. Velcro would come off in the end because of vibrations. (Slamming doors, occasional putholes,...)
