A lot easier actually. But I have a source for the wire if you're interested. I prefer it, cuz you're always carrying the right amperage spares - ON the actual fuse itself. Since I have a supply of the various amperage fuse wire, I personally concluded it to be easier than an entire fuse box swapout - on an otherwise properly functioning fuse panel. That said, I do agree with going to a conventional fuse panel when replacing one damaged by melting fuses.Because the original has the fuse link wire setup. A little easier these days to get standard car fuses than that fuse wire.
